Lessor is liable to pay GST on forward charge basis when the residential property is rented out for commercial purpose


Quick Summary
The Rajasthan Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) has determined that a lessor must pay Goods and Services Tax (GST) on a forward charge basis when a residential property is rented out for commercial purposes. Even though the property's land use is designated as residential, its actual use for commercial activities means it's not considered a residential dwelling for GST purposes. The supply of service for commercial use is taxable at 18%.
