Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies GST applicability on renting buildings for commercial purposes. Rent is generally considered a taxable supply of service at 18%. The renter may claim GST credits if both parties are GST registered. Reimbursement is not applicable; a taxable invoice is required.

For all commercial spaces that are on rentGST will be applicable at 18% on the taxable value and rent would be treated as a taxable supply of service.

If you rent a commercial property as your business premises, the rent is deductible. As the renter (tenant), you may be able to claim GST credits for the GST included in the rent if you and the lessor are registered, or required to be registered, for GST.

Sir Agreed for 18% IGST payable to contractor but can we treat this case as a reimbursement paid to contractor than GST is not effected and we also need to pay commission or service charges pay to contractor

Cannot be treated as reimbursement. Have to issue taxable invoice

Sir for this can you confirm the SAC code 992711
