1. If the aforesaid charges (collectively or individually) become part of stamp duty of the property, we can safely argue that the said charges are in relation to or incidental to supply of construction services and therefore, will form a part of composite supply of property. Accordingly, GST shall be leviable at the same rate as leviable on principal services, i.e., supply of property. 2. However, if the said charges are not included in the computation of stamp duty charges, it will be considered as individual independent supply and it will be difficult to argue the same as composite supply of property and accordingly, GST @ 18% shall be leviable.
