GST on Electric Vehicle recharging

Presently, 18% GST is levied.

There are several requests before the Govt to exempt this service from GST since it is basically sale of electricity. As all of us know sale of electricity is a sale of goods. Moreover, electricity is exempted goods.

However, the Department is not ready to accept that view and want to continue the GST at 18%.

This issue is now coming again and again before GST Council, but Council is not recommending any changes in taxation. Hence, the present tax of 18% continues.

We have to wait and watch whether any change comes in future.
