Printing and supply of textbooks to the Government department are taxable under GST


Last updated: 02 April 2024

Court :
West Bengal, AAR

Brief :
The West Bengal, AAR in the case of Swapna Printing Works (P.) Ltd. In re [Order Number 28/WBAAR/2023-24 dated December 20, 2023], held that the printing and supply of textbooks and notebooks to Jharkhand Council of Educational Research and Training, Ranchi ("JCERT") would be treated as a supply of goods as would not qualify as pure services because Entry 3 of Notification No. 12/2017 Central Tax (Rate) dated June 28, 2017("the Exemption Notification"), denotes that supply of services which does not involve any supply of goods can be regarded as pure services. Further, the Printing and supply of 'Bilingual Parental Calendar' to JEPC and supply of a Comprehensive Report Progress Card to the Education Department, Government of Assam would be treated as supply of services because it was considered a composite supply where printing services were the principal component. Lastly, the ruling clarified that the supplies did not qualify for exemption under Serial Number 3 or 3A of the Exemption Notification as the nature of the supplies involved both goods and services.
