Rental Income from commercial property

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you've registered for GST, even if your annual rental income from commercial property is below the ₹20 lakh threshold, you are generally required to charge GST to your tenants. Voluntary GST registration means you must adhere to all GST regulations, including paying the tax. While there's no direct exemption based on income once registered, consulting your legal advisor might reveal specific solutions.

02 January 2020 Theoretically Yes. There is no direct exemption from payment of GST upto threshold limit. The exemption is provided through exemption from registration. Once a person voluntary registers himself, he is required to follow all GST procedures, and that includes payment of duty. Your legal advisor can try to find some way out.
