This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications for diagnostic services. If trained paramedics collect blood samples and send them to a lab, their service is generally considered an exempt healthcare service, meaning no GST applies. However, if the individuals involved are not medically trained, their role as intermediaries for the laboratory makes their service taxable at 18% under GST.

07 August 2026 When A & B are trained paramedics (nursing background), sample collection for diagnostic testing is part of exempt healthcare services under GST (0% GST). If A & B are non-medical staff, they act as business support intermediaries for the laboratory, making their service taxable under GST at 18%.
