12%
As we know GST has been reduced from 12% to 5% in under construction property, but this comes into effect from April 1, 2019. So if a builder demands a installment of payment (in a construction linked payment schedule) on March 20th, 2109 with payment due on 1st April, what GST rate does this installment attract -5% or 12 %?
GST needs to be collected on payment or credit whichever is earlier and since payment has been made first in March you need to pay 12% GST.
Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.
Thank you
Mr .Maloo, the payment was not made in march, the demand was raised in march with last date of payment on 1st april.
Demand will be raised through invoice only therefore rate of 12%. Rates are linked to payment dates or when invoice is raised.
I have said that rates depend on payment or credit whichever is earlier now since he has raised invoice so you need to pay 12% GST.
The GST rate shall apply of the rate prevalent on date of raising an invoice or date of payment, whichever is earlier.
