Hi,

This is Vishnu, we have one trust registered under the trust act, and also we have 80G, 12AA, CSR-1 and FCRA registrations.

Now we are planning to Register under GST. Can we register under GST as a trust?

Best Regards
Vishnu

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether a trust, even one with charitable registrations like 80G and 12AA, can register for GST. While trusts can register, it's important to note that not all services provided by a 12AA registered trust are automatically considered charitable. If a trust provides services for a fee, these may be subject to GST.

Under the GST Act, not all services provided by a Trust registered under Section 12AA would be termed as a charitable activity.

If service provided by a trust for consideration would be liable for tax under GST.
