GST Applicability on Sale of Factory Shed: Sale vs. Lease Debate Under SAC 997212, Taxable at 18% A client sold a factory shed located in a GIDC area, initially leased for 99 years, and paid the applicable transfer fees. The GST Authority has demanded GST on this sale, prompting a query about its applicability. Responses highlight that under-construction or semi-constructed sheds are taxable under GST. There is a debate on whether the transaction constitutes a sale or an assignment of lease rights. The transaction might fall under SAC 997212, taxable at 18%. Additionally, the classification of a 99-year lease as a sale or lease is under judicial review, suggesting tax payment under protest for potential refunds. (AI Summary)
