FAQ :
The CBIC has asked app-based ride-hailing companies to submit their written views on the applicability of GST on rides booked through their platforms within one week.
Companies like Uber, Rapido, and Namma Yatri were involved in the discussion with the CBIC.
Uber highlighted the lack of uniformity in tax applicability across different states and advocated for a standardised taxation model.
Namma Yatri argued that it should not be subject to GST under Section 9(5) of the CGST Act, as it only connects drivers with users and is not involved in fare collection or ride management.
A decision on the GST applicability for app-based ride-hailing services is expected by November 12.
The core issue revolves around the interpretation of Section 9(5) of the CGST Act, which governs GST on services provided 'through' e-commerce operators.
