Dear sir,

As per NNo.5/2022 CTR, A new service has been added 5AA in NNo.13/2017 " service by way of renting of residential dwelling to a registered person". my under standing is if a registered person receive the service of residential portion or house on rent is liable to pay tax@18% under Reverse charge. Is it correct. As a department how do they know these persons have taken residence ? As a registered person I have taken a shop which is a residential property and running the shop/offices do they liable to pay GST@18% from 18-7-2022. kindly clarify. Thx in advance.
