Gujarat High Court
Brief :
The Hon'ble Gujarat High Court in Munjaal Manishbhai Bhatt v. Union of India [R/Special Civil Application No. 1350 of 2021 dated May 06,2022] has quashed and set aside the order passed by the AAAR, providing for mandatory deeming fiction for deduction of value of land. Held that, the Notificationproviding for a mandatory fixed rate of deduction of 1/3rd of total consideration towards the value of land is ultra-vires the provisions as well as the scheme of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 ("the CGST Act"), and application of such mandatory uniform rate of deduction is discriminatory, arbitrary, and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Further held that, the deeming fiction of 1/3rd of total consideration towards the value of land will not be mandatory in nature and it will only be available at the option of the taxable person in cases where the actual value of land or undivided share in land is not ascertainable.
