Dear Sir,

Currently for apartments booked by a person, there is net of 6% Service tax (along with VAT charges by respective state govenments). THis is due to the 60%/65% abatement provided for input of raw materials etc going into the construction cost - which has already suffered tax.

With GST regime, it is understood that real estate will face 12% GST as replacement of service tax and VAT

However, the article below highlight tow concerns.

http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/economy/gst-rates-under-construction-properties-to-attract-12-tax-2284599.html

a) The value of land is included in the amount charged from the service recipient.” These will be taxed at 12 percent with full input tax credit.
What does above mean? does it mean the buyer is taxed twice once for stamp duty/regn expenses on land cost & again 12% service tax?

b) The second point is on abatement as below:-
Earlier, both developers and homebuyers received benefits under the abatement scheme (reduced tax rate under a special scheme). Under the current service tax regime, for those buying an under-construction flat, an abatement of 75 percent was allowed, subject to the flat being less than 2,000 sq ft and sold for less than Rs 1 crore, taking the effective tax rate from 15 percent to 4 percent. Similarly, if the cost of the flat was above Rs 1 crore and the size of the unit was more than 2,000 sq ft, the abatement was reduced to 70 percent and the effective tax rate to be borne by the buyer was 5 percent. States also charged VAT over and above service tax. This has now been done away with, say experts.

So, if there is no abatement, will there be 12% GST on the total cost of flat, which will spike the cost exorbitantly.

Though it is still a beginning of discussion, the news causes worry to the flat buyers like me.

Kindly provide clarification / explanation on real situation

THanks and Regards
