• Who will pay the 12% GST to govt.

In case of JV agreement, GST is applicable both on land owner and builder. Builder will be liable to pay GST @18% on the construction amount of the flats. Landowner will be liable to pay GST@12% on his share of flats. 
But who will collect this GST of land owners share , will land owner pay himself or its duty of builder to collect the landowners GST amount and then pay to the Govt.
If builder will collect the GST from land owner can this be adjusted with ITC paid for construction ...?

Hi,

Hope you are doing well !!

 

The primary liability to pay GST on landlord share of constructed area is on the supplier of service namely the developer. However as GST is a destination based levy to be borne by consumer, the developer could collect from landlord and pay GST to Govt especially when there is specific clause in JDA that tax such as GST to be paid extra by landowner to developer.

 

Yes, it can be adjusted with ITC paid for construction.

You are getting confused.. builder will be liable to pay 12% GST on this construction, the rate is 18% but 1/3rd is deemed as land value so GST rate is 12% and he is constructing home for land owner also so he will collect it from land owner and pay to government. This is the normal way of doing it. Builder is the service provider and land owner is the receiver of service.

 

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Hi,

It should be levied on the value of the construction of the property.

GST is not applicable on value of land.

- Builder will collect GST on the total construction cost and landowner will collect on his share received from the builder. Builder will charge 18% of total value as he is not the owner of land whereas landowner will charge 12% of total value. For landowner, GST paid on the cost of construction for his share to the builder will be ITC.

GST is to be paid on the amount received by builder in JDA case since the builder received land ownership he will pay GST @12% on the FMV of value of land received.
