QUESTION

What is the SAC code of the sales of flats or villas?

ANSWER

Facts of the case: SAC code of the sales of flats or villas

Law Applicable: SCHEDULE II OF CGST ACT

5. Supply of services

The following shall be treated as supply of service, namely:'
----------------------------
(b) construction of a complex, building, civil structure or a part thereof, including a complex or building intended for sale to a buyer, wholly or partly, except where the entire consideration has been received after issuance of completion certificate, where required, by the competent authority or after its first occupation, whichever is earlier.

SCHEDULE III OF CGST ACT

ACTIVITIES OR TRANSACTIONS WHICH SHALL BE TREATED NEITHER AS A SUPPLY OF GOODS NOR A SUPPLY OF SERVICES

5. Sale of land and, subject to clause (b) of paragraph 5 of Schedule II, sale of building

Reply : SAC code for sale of flats or villas is 995411:

4

Group 99541

  Construction services of buildings
5  

995411

Construction services of single dwelling or multi dwelling or multi-storied residential buildings

If the flats or villas are sold before receipt of completion certificate/First occupation: This case is covered under clause 5(b) of Schedule II and is treated as supply of services and will be taxable at the rates as specified in Notification 11/2017 Central Tax (Rate).

However if flats or villas are sold after receipt of completion certificate/First occupation: This case is covered under clause 5 of Schedule III and is treated as neither supply of goods nor supply of services. Since the transaction is out of GST, thus provisions of GST will not be applicable and therefore invoice can be issued without mentioning of SAC code. (Reply dt. 24/06/2021)
