Ans- Assuming labours are his employee, the amount of gift would be less than 50000/- per annum , it should not be a treated as supply and credit can be availed.

From which date gst rate from 18% to 12% would be deemed effective on civil construction ?

Ans- Notification No. 24/2017-Central Tax (Rate) is dated on 21st Sept 2017. Hence the rate would be applicable from said date.
