AI Summary

Tax liability on transfer of developmental rights may attach to developer or unregistered landowner depending on timing and turnover.
Liability for tax on transfer of development rights is determined by the moment when possession or the right in the constructed complex is transferred to the person supplying development rights by a conveyance deed; that timing decides whether the supplier or the developer is the taxable person, and administrative demands or summary assessment may be issued against an unregistered landowner if liability arose in the landowner's hands and registration thresholds for chargeability are met.
