Quick Summary

The Gujarat AAAR has ruled that GST is applicable on the sale of land when primary amenities like water, electricity, and roads are developed by the seller. The authority determined that this constitutes a supply of taxable service under 'Construction services', rather than a simple sale of land. Consequently, an 18% GST rate is leviable on such developed plot sales.

Court :
AAAR, Gujarat
