Maharashtra AAR: GST Advance Ruling can be sought by supplier only and not by recipient of goods or services


Quick Summary
The Maharashtra Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) has ruled that an application for an advance ruling under GST can only be made by the supplier of goods or services, not the recipient. In this case, M/s. USV Pvt. Ltd. sought a ruling on a trademark transfer, but the application was rejected. The AAR found that the applicant was acting as a recipient and the supply in question had already been completed before the application was filed, failing to meet the criteria for an advance ruling.
