GST has streamlined the real estate taxation system by replacing multiple indirect taxes such as VAT and Service Tax with a single, transparent tax framework.
Under-construction residential properties attract GST at an effective rate of 5%, making the tax structure easier for homebuyers to understand.
Properties that have received a Completion Certificate (CC) or Occupation Certificate (OC) are exempt from GST, reducing the overall cost for buyers.
Homebuyers should be aware of Input Tax Credit (ITC) provisions and the project's construction status, as these factors can influence the overall tax implications.
GST does not affect stamp duty and registration charges. These costs continue to be levied separately by state governments and must be paid in addition to the property price.
