Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies GST registration requirements for library services. Public libraries engaged in philanthropic activities are generally exempt. However, if a private library is run as a business by an individual and its turnover exceeds the £20 lakh threshold, GST registration becomes mandatory. The conversation also touches upon issues with B2B invoice details where a recipient's GSTIN might show as inactive.

Is Library run by the Trust ?. please elaborate in detail .
No GST on public libraries.
Public libraries are for philanthropical activities.NO GST IS APPLICABLE ON PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
It is run by individual.
Then 18% GST applicable.

Hello Everyone,

Actually I have query about GST Registration of an Individual who is runing a Private library as a business, providing only seating services, his Turnover exceed 20 lakh. Now he have to take GST registration or not. I had read lots off articles and also GST book all these things said Library is exempt under GST Act so no need to take registration under this act. One more things I have talked to CBIC helpdesk he is saying that if your turnover/revenue exceed 20 lakh then you have to take registration which is mandatory. What I do please suggest.
