Quick Summary
In a Joint Development Agreement (JDA), transfer of land by the landowner is generally not subject to GST. However, flats allotted by the developer may be treated as a construction service, and GST may apply. Liability depends on whether the project is residential or commercial and the specific JDA terms.

In a JDA, the developer’s allotment of flats to the landowner is generally treated as a supply of construction service and GST may be applicable. The landowner is normally not liable to GST on transfer of land itself, but may have to bear GST charged by the developer on the construction service component. The developer should provide a proper GST invoice and valuation working before demanding 5% GST. The exact liability depends on the terms of the JDA, nature of the project and applicable GST scheme.
