Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether hoardings are considered print media for GST purposes, particularly for local authorities collecting advertisement tax. While the 101st Amendment removed local authorities' power to levy tax on advertisements, the conversation explores if hoardings might be classified under licence fees instead. It also delves into Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) applicability, noting it can apply to services provided by government entities to businesses via grants of privileges or licences, with specific exemptions for services to individuals unless they are GST-registered.

As per Constitution 101 Amendment act the levy of tax on advertisement by local authority has be taken away.
So first of all, there must be no levy of tax on same .
No it is not covered under advertisement , it can be under license Fee collected
If it is to business entity then RCM is applicable
Rcm applicability read sec 22 and Sec 24 applicability.
Isn't RCM applicable to Service by Local Authority?

 YES RCM CAN BE APPLICABLE , IF COVER UNDER CIRCULAR 121/40/2019
