This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications for a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) where one party provides land and the other constructs commercial premises. The consensus is that GST payable by the landowner (A) is calculated based on the market value of the allotted premises on the date of the completion certificate, as per Rule 27 and Section 15 of the CGST Act, 2017, rather than the construction cost incurred by the developer (B).
