The Goods and Services Tax Network’s (GSTN’s) Rs 1,380-crore contract to Infosys to build and maintain the technology backbone for the indirect tax system is liable to service tax, according to experts. But the services given by GSTN and received by it should ideally be exempt from service tax, they said.
The service tax department is investigating whether the contract is liable to tax. It has asked GSTN CEO Prakash Kumar for the relevant papers. Kumar said he had not received the notice. "We are investigating the case. Let it be investigated first," a service tax official said.
