VISA FEES PAID TO CONSULATE GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF KUWAIT

This query is : Resolved 

10 April 2020 DEAR SIR/MADAM,

VISA FEES PAID TO KUWAIT CONSULATE FOR KUWAIT VISA IS 5000/- PER VISA AND WE CHARGE FROM CLIENT RS.5590/- (VISA FEES RS.5000/- + SERVICE CHARGE RS.500/- + GST 18% RS.90/-) .

MY QUESTION IS THE VISA FEES WE PAID TO KUWAIT EMBASSY IS COVER UNDER GST OR NOT ?

WE PAID RS.5000/- FEES TO KUWAIT EMBASSY ON BEHALF OF OUR CLIENT AND LATER ON SAME IS RE-REIMBURSE FROM CLIENT.

AT THE TIME OF FILING OF GST RETURN WE BOOK ONLY SERVICE CHARGE (I.E.TAXABLE VALUE) IT IS THE PROPER WAY ? OR WE HAVE TO CONSIDERED REIMBURSE AMOUNT ALSO.

PLEASE GUIDE AND IF VISA FEES PAID IS TAX FREE THEN PROVIDE NOTIFICATION AVAILABLE .

11 April 2020 Yes, the payment of GST only on your service charges is correct.

11 April 2020 As per GST Law 2017, there is no GST payable on Services provided by Government or a local authority by way of visa. The visa processing charges charged by consulates/embassies will be exempt from the payment of GST.

"Services provided by the Central Government, State Government, Union territory or local authority by way of issuance of passport, visa, driving licence, birth certificate or death certificate."

You can refer to Sl. No. 61 of the notification no. Notification No. 12/2017- Central Tax (Rate) dated 28.06.2017
