This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A sole proprietor in the construction business is unsure about claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) on steel purchased for a client's house. They are questioning if this constitutes a works contract on immovable property and if they are eligible for the credit, especially since they are filing nil returns. Additionally, they need clarification on whether to charge GST on the final bill, even if below the threshold, particularly if they have taken voluntary GST registration.

08 April 2022 A sole proprietor doing construction business registered under GST, Purchases steel for a house he is constructing for his client. He received Input tax credit on the steel he purchased but he has no business with respect to GST and is filing only Nil return.

Two questions
1. Since its immovable property and can this be considered as works contract on a immovable property and hes not liable to take input credit for the same or is it different to the above statment.

2. At end of the contract is he supposed to Charge a bill for the contract with GST even though he is below the GST threshold limit.
