CBIC said that in this regard no notice has been issued to any companies demanding GST on salaries whatsoever.<br />''<br />''CBIC said that the GST charged on the prices or charges by any supplier of goods or services from his consumers does comprise all costs including the cost of raw material, capital goods, input services and employee costs. But, this does not mean that salaries paid to the employees by the employer are being taxed under GST.</span><br />
