16 March 2020 We are a real estate dealer firm dealing in sale purchase of properties.As we purchase under construction properties as stock in trade and sell them on profit.Do we need to charge GST on its profit or total sale value if we resale the properties before issue of their completion certificate.if not whether we have to show them as non taxable supplies in GSTR-1.
