Uber, other apps seek govt clarity over GST liability for their business

A number of app-based ride-hailing services, including Uber, have approached the Union Finance Ministry, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council, and the Authority for Advance Rulings (AAR) to determine their tax liability. This action, according to a report by The Economic Times (ET), follows a decision by the Karnataka AAR, which ruled that Bengaluru-based direct-to-driver app Namma Yatri is not required to pay GST.
