This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Place of Supply rules concerning a road repair contract. It examines whether the supply of labour services for a contract in Madhya Pradesh (MP), by a supplier registered in MP to a recipient registered in Uttar Pradesh (UP), results in IGST or CGST+MPGST being charged. The key takeaway is that the Place of Supply is determined by the location of the immovable property (MP), meaning CGST and MPGST will apply, and importantly, this impacts the availability of input tax credit (ITC) for the recipient.
