This discussion clarifies GST implications for construction firms. While GST isn't applicable on the sale of a completed building, it is payable on sale under construction. Input tax credit can be claimed in the latter case, but not for completed buildings. If GST is applicable, it should be included in the invoice, and the GST registration remains compulsory for contract services.

Input credit/refund can't be claimed. Include it in selling price. GST payable on sale under construction and ITC can be claimed in such a case.
