GST on pre OC payments: advance or instalment received before completion certificate attracts tax on construction services.
GST attaches where any payment to a builder is received before issuance of the completion certificate or first occupation; Schedule II para 5(b) excludes exemption unless the entire consideration is received only after OC or first occupation, so even minimal pre OC payments render construction service taxable. Analysis depends on the sale agreement date and precise timing of advances and instalments relative to OC. (AI Summary)
