GST registration cancellation in case of builder

230 views 6 replies
Our client is a builder and has shown itc as ineligible. Since the turnover is below 20 lacs he wants to cancel his GST registration. There is no stock of inputs nor finished goods. However he has stock of semi-finished goods. What will be the liability on semi-finished houses (affordable house)?

He has to follow section 29 to furnish details of inward supplies
Whether GST is required to be paid on semi-finished houses?

Whether the semi finished houses booked or installments are being received from customers?

No, houses are under construction and there have been no bookings yet.

Then you can cancel without any problems. As ITC have already been denied under new rates for real estate and you are planning to sell the units after their completion no GST was applicable forget about the turnover itself.

Go with cancellation.

Moreover just for knowledge GST is applicable only on supply. When there is no supply there is no GST. Secondly till units are not booked they are of the nature of immovable property (building) and GST does not cover tax on buildings (Schedule III). It is only when booking is done before completion that it gets classified as service and GST gets levied. 

Thanks
