Rent on Residential Property

The tenant will deduct TDS u/s. 194-Ia or u/s. 194-Ib of IT act, depending upon his status under tax audit.

If the property owner is not registered under GST, he is not liable to charge GST over rental service, provided rented for RESIDENTIAL purpose.

Rent is for Personal use.

The property owner and the tenant both are registered under GST. So tenant will pay gst under RCM right? There's no liability on the Property owner?

Answer remains same..      

Hi thank you for the revert.

So property owner has to charge GST even though he has rented out for residential use. Please confirm

Yes, provided he is already registered under GST..
