XYZ's Delhi Office Rent Subject to CGST and SGST; Mumbai Cannot Claim GST Credit, Consider IGST for Invoicing Options. A discussion on the appropriate type of GST to charge for a rent transaction involving XYZ's Mumbai and Delhi offices and their sister concern PQR in Pune. The consensus, led by Rajagopalan Ranganathan, is that since the immovable property is in Delhi, CGST and SGST should be charged, despite the rent being recovered from PQR. XYZ cannot claim GST credit as it is based in Mumbai. Other contributors suggest that Delhi should invoice PQR directly, or if Mumbai invoices, IGST should be charged due to the location of the supplier and place of supply. (AI Summary)
