1) Construction and real estate contracts related to immovable property like buildings and civil structures are considered works contracts and treated as services under GST.
2) EMIs or advance payments for under-construction homes will attract GST, but supply of land and buildings where payment is received only after completion will be exempt from GST.
3) The tax rate for most construction and real estate contracts is estimated to be 18%, and transitional provisions have been made to allow credit for taxes already paid on stocks and contracts.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Goods and Services Tax(GST) Implications on Construction/Real Estate
contracts with Examples
Summary:
Construction, installation, etc contracts in respect of immovable property(i.e.
building, complexes, civil structure, roads, bridges, etc) falls under the
definition of Works Contract;
These contracts are treated to be service.
It is necessary to determine whether a particular contract is Goods or
Services. Reason being there are separate set of rules such as point of
taxation, place of provision of supply.
In a particular contract either ‘CGST & SGST’(Intra state) shall be charged or
IGST(Inter state)shall be charged. IGST shall be sum total of tax rates of
CGST & SGST.
EMIs, or advance payment made for the purchase of under-
construction houses will attract the GST.
‘Supply of land’ and ‘buildings of which whole of consideration is
received after completion certificate or possession (a relief to
construction companies)’ will be however out of the purview of GST.
Such contracts will continue to attract the stamp duty.
Tax rate is estimated to be 18%(combined ‘CGST+SGST’ or ‘IGST’)(The
provisions given below are of CGST Act. SGST act shall be on same lines as
CGST Act. IGST is integration for the two. Place of supply has taken from it)
Transitional provisions for smooth flow of credit for already tax paid
stocks and for contracts on which output tax have already been paid
provided in act.
Construction companies shall be required to obtain casual taxable person
registration in states they provide services but are not registered.
Concept of ISD maintained where there is centralized billing.

2
Input tax credit of GST shall be available only for sub work contracts
and not for pure labour or material contracts and tax must have been
paid by sub work contractor (similar to 26AS in Income Tax).
Construction, building, maintenance contracts, etc are works
Contract and which are considered to services:
““Works Contract is given under Section 2 (119) which provides,
“Works contract” means a contract for building, construction, fabrication,
completion, erection, installation, fitting out, improvement, modification, repair,
maintenance, renovation, alteration or commissioning of any immovable
property wherein transfer of property in goods (whether as goods or in some other
form) is involved in the execution of such contract””
Interpretations from section 2(119):
Therefore the definition of works contract encompasses 12 types of contracts in respect of
any immovable property:
Building;
Construction;
Fabrication;
Completion;
Erection;
Installation;
Fitting out;
Improvement;
Modification
Repair,
Maintenance;
Renovation;
Alteration;
and Commissioning.
Under-construction shall be Services and land not taxable:
““Clause 5(b) of Second Schedule which provides following shall be shall be
supply of services,
construction of a complex, building, civil structure or a part thereof, including a
complex or building intended for sale to a buyer, wholly or partly, except where
the entire consideration has been received after issuance of completion
certificate, where required, by the competent authority or after its first
occupation, whichever is earlier””
3. Shivashish & Co.
Chartered Accountants
+91-9818472772, ca.shivashish@gmail.com
3
Explanation.—For the purposes of this clause—
(1) the expression "competent authority" means the Government or any authority
authorised to issue completion certificate under any law for the time being in
force……..;
(2) the expression "construction" includes additions, alterations,
replacements or remodeling of any existing civil structure” ”
““Clause 5 of Third Schedule which provides,
Sale of land, subject to clause (b) of paragraph 5 of Schedule II, and sale of
building, shall neither be a goods or services””
Interpretations from combined reading of both clauses:
Where consideration in respect of construction of complex, building, civil
structure or part of it whether ‘even a part’ or “wholly” is received before
issuance of completion certificate, then whole of consideration shall be
considered as service, taxable under the act;
Therefore, supply of ‘land’ and ‘buildings where whole of consideration is
received after certificate or possession’, then no tax shall be levied.
Whether or not to actually sold i.e. where a consideration has been
received and ultimately not sold, shall be taxable as service under the
act, subject to receipt of consideration as above.
Moreover, construction for these clauses includes additions, alteration,
replacement or modeling of any existing civil structure.
Where in respect of civil structure (for ex. Roads,
bridges, railways), even if whole of consideration is
received after issuance of certificate, tax can be levied
as it is neither a land nor building.
Therefore, contracts for construction, building, modification, installation of
immovable property (building, civil structure, railways, bridge, roads, etc)
shall be considered to be services.
Stock Transfers:
Since, transfer of inputs/ capital equipments from one site to another is quite
common in this sector. Therefore, construction companies operating from multiple
locations in different states, then it would require to pay GST on stock/ Assets
transfers from its premises in one state to its premises in another state.
Further, in case construction companies are having multiple business verticals
within the state and if a construction companies opts to take separate registration
for each such business vertical, then GST needs to be paid for stock transfers even
when made within the same state.
Multiple Registrations by way of casual taxable person:
4. Shivashish & Co.
Chartered Accountants
+91-9818472772, ca.shivashish@gmail.com
4
Concept of centralized registration for all the projects will end and construction
companies having a site in multiple States would required to obtain registration in
each State from where the construction activity/ supplies are being
undertaken even though the project is for a very small period or for a small value.
Registrations can be obtained permanently or temporarily as casual
taxable person.
Input Service Distributor:
Section 2(61), is a Input Service Distributor (ISD) is an office of supplier which
receives tax invoice towards receipts of input services and distributes the
credit of CGST/SGST to its own ‘recipient office of credit’ who is the supplier
under the same PAN as that of ISD.
Interpretations:
A business may have one central office and several other offices at
various locations for smooth distribution of credit in respect of goods or
services.
Tax invoices are raised by the supplier on central office only, consequently,
input tax credit gets accumulated at central office and supply takes place
from other locations.
Distribution of credit of input tax will be done by central office to its other
offices proportionately basis turnover during the period, who have used
the input services or where attributable to a particular recipient then to that
only.
Existing ISDs (under service tax) shall be required to obtain fresh
registration under GST.
Possible to have multiple ISD.
Transitional provisions in respect of Input Credits:
Credit of Service Tax: Must be reflected in the last service tax returns.
Service tax credit pertaining to inputs in stock can also be availed.
Excise Duty/ CVD: Since, currently construction companies are not availing
the credit of excise duty & therefore, construction companies need to
ascertain the value of stock as on the appointed day and based on the
availability of the invoice, credit can be availed.
VAT/ SAD: Similarly, if a construction companies is not availing the credit of
VAT/SAD currently due to restriction in the state VAT law or due to being in
the composition scheme, then the credit can be availed based on the
ascertainment of stock as on appointed day.
However, if the credit of VAT is being currently availed then the same needs
to be properly reflected in the last VAT return to transfer such credits to the
GST regime.
Entry Tax: Credit of same kept in stock can be availed subject to possession
of appropriate documents against the GST payable post appointed day.

Section 169 relating to transitional credit on stocks also provides for deemed
credit at rates to be prescribed in the absence of duty/ tax paying
documents.
Appointed date means that on which provisions of GST act shall come into effect.
Most probably 1st
July, 2017.
Transitional provisions in respect of provision of services
or receipt of payment post GST:
Section 142(10) provides the goods or services or both supplied on or after
the appointed day in pursuance of a contract entered into prior to the
appointed day shall be liable to tax under the provisions of GST Act.
Provided that where, entire tax has already been paid, it shall not be payable
again.
Returns under GST:
Returns under GST shall be as under:
Return Type Due Date
Outward supplies 10th of the next month
Inward supplies 15th of the next month
Monthly return (other than
compounding taxpayer and ISD)
20th of the next month
Quarterly return for compounding Tax
Payer
18th of the month next to Quarter
Periodic return by Non-Resident Foreign
Taxpayer
Last day of Registration
Input Service Distributor (ISD) 15th of the next month
Tax Deducted at Source(TDS) Payment

of the next month
Annual Return 31st December of next FY

6
Therefore, if the construction companies has a registered premises,
minimum 37 returns shall be filed in a year(3 monthly and 1 annually) per
state.
Where a construction companies has a ISD there is a separate return.
However, 24 returns out of above shall be prefilled and isn’t time consuming.
Annual return is not required for casual taxable person and ISD.
Meaning of Place of supply and tax chargeability:
Relevancy of place of supply provision is that the tax goes to the state where the
services are consumed.
Place of supply in case of immovable property shall be the location of
immovable property.
As per section 12(3)(a) and section 13(4), services directly in relation to an
immovable property, including…..….and ancillary to construction contract shall be
the location at which the immovable property or boat or vessel, as the case may
be, is located or intended to be located.
Tax Chargeability:
In a particular contract either ‘CGST & SGST’ shall be charged or IGST shall
be charged. IGST shall be sum total of tax rates of CGST & SGST.
CGST, SGST & IGST stands for Central GST, State GST and Integrated GST
respectively.
Tax can be charged CGST/SGST(if Intra State) or IGST(if Interstate).
CGST/SGST is charged where the location of supplier and place of supply is
within the same states.
IGST is charged where location of supplier and place of supply are different
states.
Tax Chargeability in respect to immovable property:
Only CGST/SGST shall be charged.
Credits shall also be of CGST/SGST, subject to where there is ISD
which distributes credits.
Concept of Casual taxable person, section 2(20):
“casual taxable person” means a person who occasionally undertakes
contracts in a State or a Union territory where he has no fixed place
of business;
Therefore,
If a person takes a contract in the same state where he is registered
or has a fixed establishment, he shall charge CGST/SGST as location
of supplier and place of supply is in same state.
7. Shivashish & Co.
Chartered Accountants
+91-9818472772, ca.shivashish@gmail.com
7
If a person takes a contract in different state, then he will have to
register as a casual taxable person, and then also he shall charge
CGST/SGST as location of supplier (casual taxable person) and place
of supply is in the same state.
Further, if ISD distributes credit, then also IGST can be set off
against, 1st
against CGST and then against SGST.
Example: Shiva takes a contract for construction immovable property. Shiva has
business in Delhi but immovable property shall be in Mumbai. Shiva has also sub
contracted a work. Determine which tax shiva shall charge and whether input credit
shall be available to for sub contract. What would be the position if invoice are
received at central office being in Delhi registered as ISD.
In this case shiva even though had the premises in Delhi, shall have to register as a
casual taxable person in Mumbai. Once he is registered, his location and place of
supply shall be in same state. Therefore he shall charge CGST & SGST and on
the same lines his sub contractor shall charge CGST & SGST which is
available as credit to shiva.
If there would have been a central office registered as ISD, then the sub
works contractor bills as IGST and this IGST shall be distributed to Mumbai
office, who shall claim it as setoff against CGST & SGST.
Meaning of Point of Taxation:
Time of supply of goods determines time, when the tax (GST) will be levied. GST is
levied on supply whether goods or services. Now, let us take example of supply of
service. In a service contract various events are involved i.e. invoice issuance,
payment receipt, rendering of services, etc. Now when will be the tax levied on this
service contract whether at time of invoice issuance, receipt of payment, rendering
of services?
Example: If it provided that tax shall be paid at time of receipt of advance, then if
tax is paid later while the services is rendered, then there shall be liability to pay
interest.
Impact of it in respect of immovable property would be that, generally the
real estate companies pays tax on receipt basis, however GST requires
timely payment based on the earlier of the events. Further, most of the
immovable property contracts falls under Continuous supply of services.
Earlier of the following, section 13(2):
1. Where invoice issued within prescribed time, date of issue of invoice or
receipt of payment whichever is earlier;
2. Where it invoice not issued within prescribed time, date of provision of
service or receipt of payment whichever is earlier;

3. Date on which the recipient shows provision of services in his books of
accounts where above 2 doesn’t apply.
Continuous supply of services
Section 31(5) “continuous supply of services” means a supply of services
continuously or on recurrent basis, under a contract, for a period exceeding
three months with periodic payment obligations.
Section 31(5) prescribes period for issue of invoice in Continuous supply of
services:
1. Where due date of payment is ascertainable from contract, invoice shall be
issued on or before that due date;
2. Where due date of payment is not ascertainable from contract, invoice shall
be issued on or before receipt of payment.
3. Where the payment is linked to completion of event, invoice shall be issued
on or before such completion.
Example:

the contract are as under. Therefore taxable amount shall be:

Section 16(2) provides conditions for availing credit:
Possession of invoice;
Receipt of services;
Tax should have been paid to government;
Return should have been furnished(monthly return due date 20th
)
Interpretation:
No credit shall be allowed to construction companies on goods or service
received for construction of an immovable property.
Credit is allowed only where construction companies will receive works
contract services from sub work contractor and tax has been paid to
the government by sub work contractor among other conditions.
Therefore, where a construction companies purchases raw material or
award pure labour contracts, the same shall not be eligible as input
tax credit.
Question.
In a contract for sale of a building along with land, shiva has obtained following
goods and services:
Material 5 lacs
Pure labour charges 2 lacs
Sub contracted to other supplier 2 lacs
Value of land 3 lacs
The property was located at Mumbai. The supplier has establishment at Delhi. The
contract provided for payment of advance for Rs.5lacs on 01.02.2018. Further, a
invoice amounting Rs.7 lacs was issued basis of continuing service contract terms.
on 01.04.2018. Supplier for sub contract has paid the tax on 31.05.2018 to
government. The property construction was completed on 01.07.2018. The above
property was sold for Rs.20 lacs.
Compute the tax payable, due date of payments, credit admissible and
credit denied. Assume tax rates to be 18% for services and 12% for goods.
Also state nature of tax(whether IGST or SGST/CGST).
What would be your answer had the whole consideration was paid on
02.08.2018 i.e. after receipt of completion certificate.

Tax Credit
denied
((Value of material*Tax rate) +
(Value of Services*Tax rate))
(500000*12%)+(2
00000*18%)=
Rs.96K
Total Tax
Payable
((Sell price-value of land)*Services tax
rate)-Tax Credit Admissible
((2000000-
300000)*18%)-
36000= Rs.2.70 lacs
Tax payment
dates
Date of Advance tax receipt 01.02.2018 500000*18%=Rs.90K
Date of Invoice issuance less amount on
which already paid 01.04.2018
(700000-
500000)*18%=Rs.36
K
Date of completion for remaining amount ((2000000-700000-
300000)*18%)-
36000=Rs.1.44 lacs
There has been non allow ability of credits to the tune of Rs.96K. Tax payable in
this contract is 17 lacs*18%=3.06 lacs plus 96k, the credit of which was denied
therefore total tax payable is 4.02 lacs.
Therefore, total tax burden has been 4.02/20 lacs which equals 20.10%.
Moreover, there is additional implication of stamp duty also.
If the entire consideration was received after completion certificate, there shall be
no applicability of GST. No GST shall be payable in that case.
Notes:
Tax payable shall be CGST & SGST. The reason is even though the supplier
was located at other state, supplier shall be required to take registration as
casual taxable person in Maharashtra. Once the location of supplier after
taking casual taxable person registration and place of supply which is
Maharashtra only being location of immovable property, contract shall be
intra state and this levied CGST & SGST.
Sub contractor shall also charge supplier CGST & SGST on the same lines.
Sub contract shall be treated to work contract service as in relation to
immovable property and therefore applied tax rate of services.
Credit for sub contract shall be available once the supplier pays the tax to
government.
There shall be no allowability of credits for pure labour charges and for
materials.
Issues:
As per the valuation rule, value of land has not been excluded;
therefore there are chances that GST can be levied on land also.
There are chances that credit can be allowed later on goods or
services but as per the current provisions it is not allowed.
