The Food Authority has issued an order detailing the list of services and applicable GST, after the GST Council decided to bring in services provided by the FSSAI under its ambit. Also, FSSAI clarified that no GST is being charged on state licence and registration fee and the associated penalties.
As reported earlier, 18% GST will be applicable on the services provided by the FSSAI, but now the food authority has issued an order with respect to GST collection from the food business.
According to the order, the services on which 18% GST will be applicable include on application for Central licence/ registration, railways licence/ registration , airport/seaport licence through FoSCoS (Food Safety Compliance System) portal.
Also, for penalty for renewal of licence/registration after expiry date (Central licence), penalty for late filing of annual returns towards Central licence, registration fee by Food Safety Management candidates for online examination, and permission for using pre-printed packaged material, 18% GST will be applicable.
According to the FSSAI, the order already came into effect from July 18, 2022, as per the directions of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue.
Meanwhile, Anil Mehta, Director, Regulations and Compliance Division, FSSAI, stated that the GST applicable on state licence and registration fee and penalties are on reverse charge basis. “Therefore, NO GST is being charged through the FoSCoS portal on state licence and registration fee and the penalties belonging to the state or Union Territories. The same is also printed on the receipt generated through FoSCoS,” stated Mehta.
