Value on commercial building developed on sharing basis, Goods and Services Tax - GST

[Narasimha MurthyR]

A developer constructed a commercial complex on development basis with the landowner with share of 50:50. But both the developer and landowner are not selling the constructed complex. After completion of the building, both the developer and landowner are leasing their share of building. In such a scenario, on what value the GST is required to be paid as there is no intention to sale the developed property in the instant case. It is clear that the rate of GST on commercial construction is 18% in terms of the Notification No.11/2017-Central Tax (Rate) as amended. Teh experts may please through light on this issue Thanks in advance.

Dear Sir, 

1. The developer has provided construction service to the Land Owner. Hence, attracts GST on land owner. The developer has received TDR, on which tax is liable to be paid.

2. Renting of commercial property is considered as a supply of service under the GST Act and is taxable @18%. In case the tenant is an unregistered person, the supplier of service has to pay tax under RCM.
