Reverse charge on commercial property

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies GST implications for commercial property rentals. If a landlord's annual turnover exceeds the threshold (₹20 lakhs monthly rental means ₹2.4 crores annually), they must register for GST and charge it under the forward charge mechanism. The tenant's GST registration and willingness to pay under reverse charge do not exempt the landlord from this requirement, unlike specific cases like advocates or GTA services.

29 April 2025 Company A is providing rental services to company B. Agreed rental charges is Rs. 20 Lacs monthly and Company B is registered in GST. So Company A(landlord) is exempt for taking registration in forward charge? Company B will pay GST in reverse charge?

29 April 2025 Company A (Landlord) must register under GST (since ₹20L/month = ₹2.4Cr/year, far above the threshold).

Company A should charge GST @18% (forward charge)

01 May 2025 Agree with the Expert's view , as your turnover is exceding 20 lacs. This case is separate from Supply being provided by Advocate & GTA , wherein entire Supply is covered under RCM.
