\n STAGE III: SALE\/TRANSFER OF FLATS BY THE LANDOWNER
\n * Taxability of transfer\/sale of flats by the landowner
\n In normal parlance, in tri-partite agreements, the under-construction flats are transferred by the builder to the land owner. The tax on these flats is paid as and when the pre-defined level of construction is reached. Thus, the builder pays the tax on these flats just like he pays the tax on the flats sold to independent buyers. However, if the land owner further sells these under construction flats, he shall also be liable to pay the tax as it will be treated as an independent transaction.
\n As per Clause 5(b) to Schedule II to CGST Act, 2017 read with Section 7 of the CGST Act, 2017, reads as follows:-
\n "(b) construction of a complex, building, civil structure or a part thereof, including a complex or bu<\/p>\n

It can be said that upon entering into such Supplementary Agreement the landowner recognises the receipt of services in his books of accounts. Or sometimes, the landowner may recognises the receipt of services (flats) only at the time of handing over of flats to him. But from builder's point of view it would be very difficult to conclude when the landowner recognises receipt of service. In this connection, a person may refer to the CBEC Instruction F.No.354\/311\/2015 Dt. 20.01.2016, wherein in the context of point of taxation under service tax it has been clarified as, = = = = = = = =<\/p>\n Plain text (Extract) only<\/strong> = = = = = = = =<\/p>\n icate or first occupancy certificate, whichever is earlier (Construction services): = = = = = = = =<\/p>\n Plain text (Extract) only<\/strong> = = = = = = = =<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" GST on Transfer of Property under Tripartite AgreementBy: – CASanjay KumawatGoods and Services Tax – GSTDated:- 20-12-2017 (Continue from Part-I) STAGE III: SALE\/TRANSFER OF FLATS BY THE LANDOWNER * Taxability of transfer\/sale of flats by the landowner In normal parlance, in tri-partite agreements, the under-construction flats are transferred by the builder to the land owner. … Continue reading “GST on Transfer of Property under Tripartite Agreement”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9522\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodsandservicetax.in\/GST\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
