• GST applicable for landowner

We had a building constructed in 1976. In 1998 02 floors were added and 01 floor allotted to each for three brothers. The floors were duly registered in DDA in individuals name and independent House Tax was being paid to MCD Delhi by each brother. Due to non availability of Lift the family in 2nd floor who have acute knee problems were finding it extremely difficult to come down or go up. So a Lift installation was necessary.
We three brothers decided to enter into a collaboration agreement with a developer for demolishing existing building and build 4 floors with stilt parking.. each brother would retain his original floor and the 3rd floor to be given to builder in lieu of his services. This was started in  Mar 2016 and the building is nearing completion.The builder would retain the 3rd floor and could keep it for his own use or may decide to sell it in future.
What would be the GST implication if any for the 03 brothers after completion of the house in near future now that service Tax is not there but GST is in vogue

Dear Sir,

You need to register under GST as a landowner and need to pay GST for the consideration received i.e. the value of 3 flats. I think rate would be 18% as land is provided by you so there would not be any deduction of 1/3 rd value from the total consideration.

I think JDA concept would apply here but I still advise to get in touch with consultant in-person well versed with GST provisions.
