Sir / Madam,

It is no clear from the discussions whether GST is applicable or not on Ambulance services hired on contract from non-corporate entity by say a body corporate. The Ambulance is kept on standby at the work site and used only if necessary for taking patient (injured during work) from work site to nearest hospital or designated hospital. The Ambulance is hired for 24 hours duty on monthly charge basis irrespective of utilisation and in case the distance run in a month exceeds 1500 Kms then additional kms run shall be paid at a rate mentioned in the rate schedule of the contract. In such a scenario, can the SAC code be provided along with GST Notn if any. Will be grateful at least for confirmation if it is covered under exempted services. It is clarified that these Ambulance cannot be utilised for common public as the services are bound by a contract.   

 

In my opinion,

Since charges are on monthly basis

therefore if in a month even a single patient is transported then it is nil rated

if no patient is transported in a month then charges will be taxed.

because exemption for transportation of patient.

Since the SAC is already discussed here, I can share a very useful recent finding of mine that will give you an extreme edge in your ambulance business. Here https://routegenie.com/ take a look. It's the best NEMT on the market these days. You won't find a better one and I guess you will be miles ahead of your business rivals.
