Arjuna – Krishna, I have a villa in Maharashtra which is owned by my company and we frequently rented out it to persons in India as well as to foreign nationals. I wanted to know from you about GST applicability if any?
Krishna – Hey Arjuna. You please note down the points in this regards so that once our conversation is over you would able to go through the same and take proper decision based on those points.
- When consideration received as Rent for renting out villa for a day or week or month then it would covered under the definition of supply of services as per Schedule –II of the CGST Act, 2017.
- If aggregate Turnover (TO) of supply of other goods or services exceeds Rs.20 lakhs in a financial year, then such person or company shall mandatorily require to apply for GST Registration.
- In 1st year of registration, transactions after exceeding Rs.20 lakhs would be taxable. All earlier transactions are not taxable.
