Gifts of above Rs 50,000 value in a year, when given by the employer to the employee without consideration and outside the contractual agreement, will come under the ambit of Goods and Services Tax (GST), the Finance Ministry said on Monday.

"It is being reported that gifts and perquisites supplied by companies to their employees will be taxed under GST. Gifts up to a value of Rs 50,000 per year by an employer to his employee are outside the ambit of GST. However, gifts of value more than Rs 50,000 made without consideration are subject to GST, when made in the course or furtherance of business," the ministry said here in a statement.

Though gift has not been defined in the GST law, in common parlance, it is made without consideration, is voluntary in nature and is made occasionally. Gift cannot be demanded as a matter of right by the employee and the employee cannot move a court of law for obtaining a gift.

The government clarified that the perquisites by the employer to the employee in terms of contractual agreement entered into between the employer and the employee, will not be subjected to GST.

"It is pertinent to point out here that the services by an employee to the employer in the course of or in relation to his employment is outside the scope of GST (neither supply of goods or supply of services)," it said.

Further, the Input Tax Credit (ITC) Scheme under GST does not allow ITC of membership of a club, health and fitness centre. "It follows, therefore, that if such services are provided free of charge to all the employees by the employer then the same will not be subjected to GST, provided appropriate GST was paid when procured by the employer."

The same would hold true for free housing to the employees, when the same is provided in terms of the contract between the employer and employee and is part and parcel of the cost-to-company (C2C), it said.
