18% GST applicable on the cost of the diesel incurred for running generator set in the course of providing rental service


Quick Summary
The Uttarakhand Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) has determined that the cost of diesel used to run a generator set, when reimbursed by a customer renting the set, is considered an additional charge for the rental service. This means the diesel cost must be included in the total value of the supply. Consequently, an 18% Goods and Services Tax (GST) is applicable to this combined amount.
