Realty under GST should be along with the stamp duty and moderate rate: Assocham

15 Nov 2017 Evaluate

Amid the demand to bring realty sector under the ambit of Goods and Services Tax (GST), the industry body, The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) has said that if the real estate sector is brought within the ambit of GST, it should be along with the stamp duty and moderate rate, and should not add to the cost.

Assocham secretary general D S Rawat said that realty sector under the GST without stamp duty and other levies like property tax will serve no purpose and instead would lead to more confusion. He added that if the sector has to be given a boost, it should be brought under GST along with stamp duty with the rate being moderate and should not add to the cost of the housing or construction.

He further said that the Centre is certainly in favour of realty under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) but the states have to be brought on board because there are revenue implications. Talking on other exempted articles like petroleum, electricity and alcohol, he said they should be brought under the GST. He said ideally all these sectors, be it real estate, petroleum, electricity and alcohol, should be brought under the GST. But, expectations have to be matched with what is doable at this point of time.
