Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether Goods and Services Tax (GST) is applicable to office mess expenses. It clarifies that providing food to employees on office premises is generally considered a taxable supply. The advice suggests that while GST may be applicable, input tax credit can potentially be claimed. One suggestion is to include specific clauses in employment contracts regarding food supply in relation to employment to potentially mitigate liability.

GST not applicable under RCM.
Dear Frd, Supply of services provided by employer to employees is liable for gst. ur mess expenses is taxable and liable for gst.
We can input claim
U can also add condition in employment contract that food supplied in relation to employment then u are not liable for gst
