Training Partners of Skill Training Council to be Exempted from GST: FM

The GST Council has exempted training partners of Skill Development Councils from GST. This decision is aimed at promoting skill development initiatives across the country by providing financial relief to training organizations. The exemption ensures that these training providers do not bear additional tax costs, making it more affordable for them to offer skill development programs. It also supports the government’s efforts to enhance the skill base of the workforce and improve employment opportunities. By exempting training providers from GST, the government hopes to foster growth in the skill development sector, benefiting both the trainers and the trainees, and encouraging more individuals to participate in skill development programs.
