Battery charging service provided by public charging station attracts 18% GST

Last updated: 17 August 2023
Quick Summary
The Karnataka Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) has determined that providing battery charging services for electric vehicles at public charging stations constitutes a supply of service, not a sale of electricity. This service is classified under 'Maintenance and repair services of transport machinery and equipment' and therefore attracts an 18% Goods and Services Tax (GST). The ruling clarifies that the electricity used is consumed by the charging station itself as a consumable.
