The finance minister said that currently GST is levied at 12 per cent on normal residential houses and 8 per cent on affordable homes, after considering one-third abatement on account of land cost. The Council has decided that after removal of ITC, the rates will be 5 per cent for normal housing properties and 1 per cent for affordable housing
the GST Council, on February 24, 2019, slashed tax rates for under-construction flats to five per cent and affordable homes to one per cent, effective April 1, 2019. Currently, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is levied at 12 per cent with input tax credit (ITC) on payments made for under-construction property or ready-to-move-in flats, where the completion certificate is not issued at the time of sale. For affordable housing units, the existing tax rate is eight per cent.
For the properties for which construction already begun transitional provisional will be notified soon.
