Hello Sir,

 

GST is though applicable to the supply of development rights, w.e.f.01.04.2019 the responsibility to pay tax is no more in the hands of the landowner, rather it is shifted to the builder under reverse charge mechanism (RCM). It is immaterial whether the landowner is registered under GST or not. So it can be construed that transfer of development right is not taxable in the hands of landowner w.e.f.01.04.2019. [Notification No. 13/2017-CT (R) dt. 28.06.2017 as amended by Notification No. 05/2019-Central Tax (Rate)] Dated: 29th March 2019]

 

In cases where landowner further sales his share of constructed area or flats allotted by the builder and he receives any amount as advance from the prospective buyers during the construction stage then the landlord will be liable to pay GST on it. No GST is applicable if such sales are made after completion of construction.

- W.e.f  01.04.2019, liability to pay GST under the joint development model is on the developer/builder and not on the landlord subject to fulfillment of certain conditions.

 

For detailed discussion, please take phone consultation.
