Taxable or not ?


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether private library and reading room services are subject to Goods and Services Tax (GST). If your library's turnover exceeds Rs 20 lakh, GST registration is required. The relevant Service Accounting Code (SAC) for library services is 998451, with an 18% GST rate. Importantly, while public libraries may be exempt, private libraries are generally taxable.

10 April 2020 I am running a private library whose turnover likely to cross Rs 20.00 lakh, whether running a private library or reading rooms services is taxable services or not, please also quote HSN.

Thanks in advance.
