Quick Summary

The Gujarat Authority of Advance Ruling has determined that government subsidies provided under schemes like Surya Gujarat Yojna are deductible when calculating the taxable value for GST. This means GST is charged on the price after subtracting the subsidy, not the full system cost. The ruling also clarifies that this deduction does not affect the implications of Section 17(2) of the CGST Act regarding GST Input Tax Credit (ITC) reversal, as the supply remains taxable.
