• Gst applicable on rent of rooms in hospital

an ayurveda hospital is located in himachal - hospital consists of opd , and rooms for patients to stay .. hospital is run by a no profit organisation and a lease agreement is done between owner of building and the organisation which runs the hospital . room rent charged by operator to patients  is exempted from gst . now after receiving room rent 20 percent goes to operator and 80 percent goes to the owner of building as lease .. amount of rent is more than 20L a year . 


in this case when owner receives his share of 80% will it attract Gst on his share of lease ?  how will he pay when operator is not charging from patient ?
Asked 6 years ago in GST

GST is applicable on his portion. He should chage GST on that.

Hospital rendering services to patient is exempt. But for the owner renting its pproperty is taxable. It's irrelevant how the lease term has been designed.

is the owner single or joint?

Hi

GST cannot be avoided. Since the annual rent exceeds Rs. 20 lakhs, GST has to be paid in cash.

Yes, the owner of the property will have to pay GST if it exceeds 20 lacs.

Please feel free to call/ revert in case you need more clarity.

Hello,

The land owner will charge GST @ 18% to the operator no matter if the operator is charging GST or not. So technically it will be a cost to the hospital.

Trust this clarifies your query.

Feel free to call / get back in case of further clarifications.

Thanking You.

Hi,

If the rental income is more than 20 Lacs then GST will have to be charged on the same. There is no other option to it.
