Madras High Court frees TN women’s hostels from GST net
==========
The Madras High Court has ruled that hostels renting out rooms for girl students and working women in Tamil Nadu are eligible for exemption from GST under a 2017 notification of the central government. The court held that such hostels fall under the category of exclusively residential purpose. The ruling came in response to a batch of petitions filed by the administrators of women's hostels who had challenged an order by the Tamil Nadu State Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling that deemed hostel services taxable at 18% GST. The high court judge emphasized that the issue of levying GST on residential accommodation should be viewed from the perspective of the recipient of the service and not the service provider.
