RIGHT TO USE UNDER GST
GOODS
Transfer of the right to use any goods for any purpose shall be the supply of service.
GST Rate: Same rate of GST as on supply of similar goods.
We can understand this with the help of an example.
Suppose GST rate on supply of agricultural, horticultural or forestry machinery (goods) is 12% and if transfer of right to use this machinery i.e. supply of services takes place then also GST rate will be 12%.
