2019 (8) TMI 1278 - AAR - GSTPermission for withdrawal of Advance Ruling application - levy of GST on lease amount - developer has taken the entire land from state of Rajasthan to further lease out to Industrial units - HELD THAT - Since the applicant has withdrawn the application, therefore no ruling is given.
Issues:
1. Applicability of GST on lease premium value of industrial plots. 2. Liability of developer to charge GST on lease amount. Analysis: The Advance Ruling Authority in Rajasthan considered the issue raised by the applicant, a registered person, regarding the applicability of GST on the lease premium value of industrial plots purchased on long term lease. The applicant, M/s. Indo Autotech Ltd., sought clarification on whether M/s. Mahindra World City, the developer leasing out the land to industrial units, is liable to charge GST on the lease amount. The jurisdictional officer's comments highlighted the exemption provided under Entry No. 41 of Exemption Notification No. 12/2017-CT (rate), stating that the exemption from GST on lease money for long term leases of industrial plots is applicable only when granted by specific entities, which M/S Mahindra World City does not fall under. The officer concluded that no exemption from GST is admissible in this case. During the personal hearing, the applicant's authorized representatives requested to withdraw the advance ruling application, citing the need for further clarification on the raised issues. Consequently, the Authority ruled that since the applicant withdrew the application, no ruling could be provided. The Authority emphasized the withdrawal of the application as the reason for not issuing a ruling, thereby closing the proceedings without a definitive decision on the matter. Overall, the judgment underscores the importance of clarity and specificity in seeking advance rulings on GST-related matters, highlighting the procedural aspect of withdrawal impacting the issuance of a ruling. The case serves as a reminder of the significance of thorough understanding and presentation of issues before seeking advance rulings to ensure a conclusive determination by the Authority.
