GST on independent House construction contact

299 views 6 replies
Good day.

I have entered into contact with a building contractor for construction of my independent house in june-17. We agreed on fixed price of 1500 ₹/sq ft. All material and labour to be provided by building contractor. He agreed to give me all the invoices of material and also gave me some invoices without GST. but now he is refusing to give remaining invoices and seems like he haven't paid GST on material. 

As it was fixed price contact and nothing is mentioned about GST(GST was not in force at the time of signing contract). Is building contractor is supposed to pay GST on all material bought by him or I am supposed to Pay GST. Can I file complaint with GST against him for getting all pending invoices?

GST is applicable on all purchase made by contractor on after 1/7/2019 & if he is raising a bill to you after 1/7/2019 is liable to charge & collect GST on the same (Inclusive or Exclusive depend upon the Agreement)

Note. :
Yes , . if he raising a separate bill for pure labour is Exempted under Notification 12/2017 CT. (R)

For complain as such there is no window , yes can approach to Your local GST office
Sorry I have wrongly type 1/7/2019 ,. It's 1/7/2017
Noted with thanks.
but in my agreement fixed flat rate of 1500 ₹ sq/ft is mentioned and nothing is mentioned about tax neither vat nor GST. As it includes labour and material it's obvious that taxes are also included if nothing is mentioned seperately.

Am I right in this or if nothing is mentioned and inspite giving him flat rate , still I had to pay GST.

He gave me 1/3rd invoices of project. but some invoices are without GST, some are of some other project. He never asked me about paying GST seperately at that time.
Dear G Singh

I can understand your pain , actually the rate fixed 1500/- must be inclusive of all the Taxes , then it's hardly matter whether he is charging GST to you or not because he cannot go beyond 1500/- & you are paying the amount which is agreed/fixed.
noted with loads of thanks
you are always welcome
