Outright assignment of an industrial lessee's entire leasehold estate, including the building, is distinguished from the original grant of a lease. Original leasing or renting is treated as a supply of services, but complete divestment without a retained reversionary interest transfers a proprietary benefit arising from land. Such a transfer falls within the Schedule III exclusion for land and specified building transactions, rather than service classification under Schedule II; GST charge therefore does not arise. Classification depends on the deed's substance, including rights retained, the assignee's assumption of lease covenants, and transferred structures. A sub-lease, licence, or continuing rental arrangement may be characterised differently. Approval charges collected by the industrial development corporation remain distinct from assignment consideration.
