GST applicability on Rent Received from HPCL

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies GST implications for petrol bunk owners renting land. It addresses whether GST is payable on rent received from HPCL, especially when HPCL reimburses a portion of the rent paid to the landowner. The consensus suggests that GST is not applicable on pure agent reimbursements from HPCL, as these are not considered income but rather a pass-through of expenses. The net rent paid by the bunk owner after reimbursement also needs consideration for GST.

07 May 2020 Reimbursement is less than the payment.made. Less amount is reimbursd as some part of the land used for sale of lub oils etc.
Petrol and diesel is sold on commission basis. Petrol and diesel pump and tanks etc put up by oil companies at their cost.
