About Clinic GST Compliance
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Healthcare services by clinical establishments, doctors and paramedics are exempt from GST. Taxable items commonly include outpatient pharmacy sales, cosmetic procedures not done to restore function, and non-ICU room rent above ₹5,000 a day (5% without credit). Exempt services mean input tax credit must be reversed proportionately, so clinics with taxable sales need careful returns.
Many clinics either register when they don't need to or miss tax on pharmacy and cosmetic services. We map each revenue stream, decide whether registration is needed, and file returns with the right credit reversals.
| Medical services | Exempt |
|---|---|
| Outpatient pharmacy | Taxable |
| Cosmetic procedures | Taxable unless restoring function |
| Room rent | Above ₹5,000/day (non-ICU) taxable at 5% without credit |
| Credit | Reversed for exempt services |
