Whether your friend must charge GST depends on the nature of the service provided to your firm. If the service involves the supply of goods (making it a "works contract"), it is likely taxable, even if your own contract with the Municipal Corporation is exempt. If it is a "pure service," it may potentially be exempt, but this requires a careful legal assessment of the contract terms and relevant notifications. You should consult a tax professional to review your specific agreement to ensure compliance.
