27 June 2020 ‘A’ and ‘B’ co-owned a house property having 2 rooms (50% share each). One room is given for rent for residential purpose,i.e., as paying guest, food charges to be taken extra. 2nd room is given to some proprietorship for for running its business,i.e., for commercial purpose.
‘A’ is salaried person & ‘B’ has proprietorship business having GST registration.
For e.g.: rent received p.m. from 1st room is Rs.8,000 & 2nd room is Rs.15,000.

Queries are:
1)Whether ‘A’ and ‘B’ has to issue separate invoice to their tenants being Normal Invoice by ‘A’ and GST invoice by ‘B’ and the food charges, electricity recovered to be included in the taxable value?

2)If ‘B’ has to issue GST invoice, whether he has to maintain separate serial number?

3)Whether any exemption is available under GST for rent received for for residential purpose?

4) How to deal this rent turnover in Annual Return,i.e., GSTR-9?

27 June 2020 1. GST is to be charged on rent received from renting any immovable property let out for business or commercial purposes provided the threshold of Rs.20 lakh in a Financial year.
So rent from residential purpose is GST exempt.
And GST to be applicable on rent from from Commercial purpose if threshold is crossed.
2. If the threshold is crossed and GST becomes applicable, separate accounting and record keeping is required, and combined data of all other businesses to be reported while filing returns under GST.

3. Already shared, rent received from property given for residential purpose is exempt from GST.

4. All the returns under GST at to be filed GSTIN wise and not separate business wise. Thus all the figures from separate businesses to be combined for all such filings.
