The husband and wife both have individual GST registrations in Karnataka. They have jointly purchased a commercial property in Gujarat and intend to rent it out for ₹40,000 per month.
Based on my understanding, GST is applicable on commercial rental income and must be charged in addition to the rent.
Since both owners are GST-registered in Karnataka, can they charge IGST on the rental income using their existing Karnataka GST registrations?
Obtaining separate GST registrations in Gujarat for both husband and wife solely for this ₹40,000 monthly rental income would involve additional compliance and administrative work.
Is there a way to manage this transaction using their existing Karnataka GST registrations without obtaining fresh registrations in Gujarat?
We are getting different opinions on this.
