Payment of GST as Service tax & Vat already paid for flat registration
26-Jan-2023 (In GST Law)
I had done my registration of the flat on June 26th 2017. My builder took the Service tax and Vat for the total amount mentioned on the Sales agreement in the month of June 2017. The cheque for the full amount by the bank was given on 13th July 2017. Am I liable to pay GST since I have already paid the Service Tax and Vat in June. Registration of the flat was done on June 26th that is before July 1st. Please give me your feedback.
as you have narrated that all the payment towards cost of flat with all the taxes charged by the builder stands paid by you to him before 1st july 2017, therefore, no need to pay GST of the differential amount of tax. however, you need to see that whether the builder has got completion certificate from the competent authority or not. at least you should have completion certificate copy in your hand where your flat number is mentioned. In absence of the said thing you need to pay GST amount after deducting the amount of taxes paid by you to him.
