29 September 2017 Sir my question is whether Wages attract GST. I am a businessman and need labours for my business. I purchase goods and bring it to my godown and repack them with the help of labours to send the goods to other states.
Now is GST applicable for wages paid to Labour's in cash.

31 October 2026 Wages paid directly to workers employed by you are not a supply (Schedule III), and the old Rs 5,000/day RCM idea no longer applies; but if the labour is supplied through a manpower agency or labour contractor, its invoice is a taxable supply of services and GST is charged by the contractor.
