GST on CA/CMA coaching institutes

Case Details: Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling, Andhra Pradesh Master Minds., In re - [2022] 138 taxmann.com 205 (AAAR-Andhra Pradesh)

Judiciary and Counsel Details

    • Peeyush Kumar & Naresh Penumaka, Member
    • Y. Sreenivasa Reddy, Adv. for the Applicant.

Facts of the Case

The appellant was a coaching institute providing coaching to students appearing for CA and CMA exams. It was not having any recognition or affiliation to ICAI or ICMAI. It filed an application for advance ruling to determine taxability of services provided to students. The Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) held that the appellant would not be eligible for the GST exemption under Entry No. 66 (a) of Notification No. 12/2017-CT (Rate), dated 28-6-2017 for services of coaching provided to students. It filed appeal against the order.

AAAR Held

The Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling observed that the institute of appellant would run for specific purpose to cover subjects of prescribed syllabus for CA/CMA course and to prepare students appearing for various level of theoretical examinations for said qualification. The Chartered Accountants Act and Cost and Works Accountants Act would not recognize education or any degree, diploma or certificate as given by such institutes. The education imparted would not lead to obtaining qualification recognised by ICAI or ICMAI and therefore, the GST exemption can’t be claimed by the appellant as educational institution providing education as part of curriculum for obtaining qualification recognized by law.
