I am entering into a joint venture with a builder to construct and sell apartments. I am the landowner. The builder will bear the expense of all relevant approvals, construction, inspection and I will get a share of the revenue from sale of apartments. What will be my tax liability for this project: 1. Will there be any GST liability? If yes when will it be due. 2. What will be the income tax liability for me and when will it be due? I have owned the land for 10 years.

1 GST liability will be there when flat is sold before receiving completion certificate 2 You are liable for capital gains tax on the date of JV agreement considering market value of the land and deducting indexed cost. 3 Joint venture profit will be taxed at 30% as AOP. Share of profit not be taxable again.

Hi, Thank you for the prompt reply and advice. I have a few clarification: 1.How is capital gains tax due when I have not received any payment or no construction has started. If for some reason we don’t get approvals to build will my capital gain tax be refunded? 2. I will sell the flats when they are completed , pay the taxes and remit builders percentage to his account. 3. What amount will be treated as profit from Joint venture?

1 Pay tax when you sell the flats. 2 Yes. 3 Balance amount after deduction of construction cost and value of land considered for capital gains.
