Builder is asking to pay 12% GST on this transaction. But in last year the GST Rate was reduced to 8% from 12%. We want to know which rate will be applicable for this transaction
Dear Sir,
Hope you are doing well !!
The concessional rate of GST of 12 percent (effective rate of 8 percent after deducting one-third of the amount charged for the house towards the cost of land) is applicable for houses constructed or acquired under the CLSS for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) / Lower Income Group (LIG) / Middle Income Group-1 (MlG-1) / Middle Income Group-2 (MlG-2) under the Housing for All (Urban) Mission/Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY Urban).
If your house falls under above categories then the rate is 8% otherwise 12%.
Hi,
The reduced rate of GST@8% is applicable only on housing projects in the affordable segment. Otherwise it is 12%.
Please check your property status.
8% is for affordable housing and if your project falls in that category then it's 8% otherwise it's 12%
