GST on TDR proportionate to commercial apartments in RREP, Goods and Services Tax - GST

GST on TDR proportionate to commercial apartments in RREP


  • Contents

Hi,

While GST exemption on Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) apply to sold residential apartments, they do not extend to commercial apartments. However, in the context of a Residential Real Estate Project (RREP), commercial units are treated similarly to residential units. Why, then, is there a differential treatment in GST between residential and commercial units with regard to TDR exemptions?

Agreed. It looks like this has been missed. This is adding on to the cost since one would not get credit for the GST paid on TDR for these commercial units in RREP.

Additionally, I think the Government should make TDR for commercial units (whether REP or RREP) same as for residential units i.e. 5% only on unsold and not give credit since there is a lot of hassel in having to pay 18% GST on TDR and that too only by using electronic cash ledger and then take credit.

So a representation through associations is the need of the hour for these kind of issues which can bring some attention to these issues and some sensible solutions.

Thank you for your response, Ma'am. One not so related question.

In a JDA, a landowner transfers the development rights to developer in exchange of newly constructed apartments. However, the other day I saw an agreement wherein the landowner has sold the land itself in exchange of apartments/shops. Why are not such agreements popular as the JDAs? Does it have any parallel implications in other laws?
