GST will not be applicable on education and healthcare.

Hey there, do you wonder what will be the fate of various service providers after introduction of GST in July 17. We mean these days you often hear or read, that this service is going to be cheaper and that service is going to cost more. In this article, we shall discuss about one of the most essential services that you require on your day to day basis. Yes, we will discuss how GST will affect education and healthcare.

GST in itself is such a huge change that the government has decided not to spring any more shocks on the public. A decision has been made to keep education, healthcare, and pilgrimages outside the purview of GST. These services are outside the tax net currently and maintaining the status quo, even if only to aid transition, will mean the consumers and small and medium enterprises can breathe a sigh of relief. The final GST rates for goods and services will be fixed in the next GST Council meeting on 18-19 May, in Srinagar.
