13 September 2017 You need to pay GST 12% but input tax credit he is taking on input has to be passed on to you. If he is not passing on the credit taken you may lodge complaint with GST authority.

13 September 2017 Dear sir, the flat is not meant to be used for business purpose, it is only for the residential purpose only, so we can not claim input tax credit.
