Hi guys, I am vikas from Bangalore. Recently we started our own online portal that is into hindu ritual services. It is almost similar to Justdail, quikr etc. we list the priests on our website and whenever there is an inquiry we forward that to the priests. Our website is https://www.namastegod.com . So I want to know what will be the GST that we will have to pay and it there any tax exemption for our business?

Exemption of GST on religious ceremony is given under S. No. 13 of Exemption Notification No. 12/2017-Central Tax (Rate).We have covered the exemption under 5 different heads as under.

In order to understand or interpret the scope of exemption, it is important to understand the following terms:

(a) The word Religious ceremony has not been defined under the Service Tax Law or GST Act, but it can include special religious poojas conducted by a person authorized by such religion. Occasions like birth, death and marriage ceremony involve religious ceremonies.
