Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the GST implications for renting residential property to a registered person. Previously exempt, GST is now applicable from July 18, 2022, if the tenant is GST-registered. The primary focus is on whether a regular taxpayer can utilise the forward charge mechanism rather than the reverse charge for these transactions.

22 January 2024 I think the exemption has withdrawn for the case of renting to registered person and GST is chargeable.
The Reverse charge is applicable for the transaction. I need to know there is any provision to follow forward charge for the same.
