 Plz refer the following:

Section 15 of the CGST Act, 2017 (Value of supply),

Notification No. 4/2018–Central Tax (Rate) dated 25.01.2018, read with

Notification No. 11/2017–Central Tax (Rate), as amended by Notification No. 3/2019–CT (Rate) dated 29.03.2019,.

The value of construction service provided by the developer to landowners or existing flat owners in a redevelopment project is limited to the value of additional area or other consideration received by them.

The construction corresponding to the old flat area is merely replacement of existing property and does not constitute a taxable supply, since there is no consideration for that portion.

Many Avance Rulings are issued on this issue.

Hello Sir, Could you please let me know names of such Advance Rulings which confirm above understanding, Would be very helpful to go through the same and understand the interpretation

[Shilpi Jain]

In case of re-development, there is a consideration that the builder gets for the new construction and the work done for the existing area.

GST will be liable on the entire work done. If nothing is done in the existing area, then no supply w.r.t. existing area and hence no GST.

valuation is something you need to be very careful about, whether it would be as per the rule 27 or as per the valuation provided in the rate notification in note 2.

2025 (6) TMI 577 - AUTHORITY FOR ADVANCE RULING, MAHARASHTRA - In Re: M/s. Sharda Vastu Nirmitee Private Limited

Levy of GST - area given free of cost to existing members under a redevelopment agreement - monetary considerations paid to existing members in terms of the development agreement - taxable value for levy of GST on the area given free of cost to existing members.

 

AI Summary

GST on redevelopment: tax applies to the value of additional consideration received, not mere replacement of existing area.
The taxable value of developer construction services in redevelopment projects is confined to the value of additional area or other monetary consideration received by existing flat owners; replacement of the existing area is not a taxable supply absent consideration. If work and consideration are attributable to the existing area, GST may apply to that work. Valuation must be determined with care under the applicable valuation rules and the rate notification, and advance rulings inform the interpretation of taxable value in these arrangements.
