Land Sale Exemption: Developed Property Transaction Cleared from 12% GST Under Schedule III of CGST Act
HC ruled in favor of petitioners challenging GST levy on developed land sale. Based on a government circular, the court directed Bhopal Development Authority to reconsider the 12% GST imposed on land sale, finding that developed land sale under Schedule III of CGST Act, 2017 is not subject to GST. The authority must review and complete reassessment within 60 days.
Issues: Challenge to land allotment notices levying GST on sale of developed land.
Analysis: The petition filed under Article 226 challenges land allotment notices dated 23-11-2021 and 09.12.2021, imposing GST @ 12% on the sale consideration for purchase of developed land by the petitioners from Bhopal Development Authority. During the proceedings, a circular dated 03.08.2022 issued by the Government of India, Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue was brought to the court's attention. The circular clarifies that the sale of developed land, including land after levelling, laying down of drainage lines, etc., falls under Schedule III of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, and is not subject to GST. However, services provided for land development are taxable under GST. Consequently, the court directed the Bhopal Development Authority to reconsider the levy of GST on the sale of developed plots to the petitioners in light of the circular. The authority was instructed to complete this review within 60 days from the date of receiving the court's order.
The court's decision was based on the clarification provided in the circular, emphasizing that the sale of developed land is covered under Schedule III of the CGST Act, 2017, and does not attract GST. The court directed the Bhopal Development Authority to independently assess the applicability of GST on the sale of developed plots to the petitioners, disregarding the previous land allotment notices. This directive aims to ensure that the authority reconsiders the GST levy in accordance with the legal provisions and the recent clarification from the Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue. The court's intervention seeks to uphold the correct application of GST laws and prevent any erroneous imposition of taxes on the sale of developed land.
