Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applicable to the construction of residential houses when a contractor supplies both materials and labour. The applicable GST rate is 18%. While the works contractor can claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on their purchases, the house owner cannot claim ITC for the construction of their residence, as it's specifically disallowed under Section 17(5) of the CGST Act.

18% GST rate is applicable on contractor works

Yes ITC is available

On works contract service, GST @ 18% would be applicable. No ITC can be claimed by the house owner in respect of the construction of house, as such tax credits are ineligible u/s 17(5) of CGST Act. However, the works contractor can avail ITC on purchases.
