You’ve raised two important points about GST reverse charge on payments to MCGM by Mumbai real estate developers:
1. Is Reverse Charge applicable on payments to MCGM for FSI premium and development charges?
Yes, reverse charge under GST is applicable on certain payments to municipal authorities like MCGM.
Notification No. 5/2019-Central Tax (Rate) and related notifications specify that services provided by government or local authorities to promoters/real estate developers are liable under reverse charge.
Premium on FSI (Floor Space Index) and development charges paid to MCGM fall under these services.
So builders must pay GST on reverse charge basis on such payments.
2. Can developers claim input tax credit (ITC) now for FY 2021 expenses on which reverse charge was paid but not claimed?
Unfortunately, the GST law has strict timelines for claiming ITC.
ITC must be claimed within due date of filing returns for September of the following financial year, i.e., for FY 2020-21, last date was around September 2021.
If not claimed within this period, ITC is generally disallowed and cannot be claimed later.
So if the reverse charge was paid in FY 2021 but ITC was not claimed timely, the set-off is likely forfeited.
