Hi,

The Joint Development Agreement (or "JDA") is the most typical and well-liked type of contract for building homes in our nation. Both the developer and the landowner prefer it as a form. However, there are several problems with JDA's taxability under the Income Tax Act of 1961 (often known as "the IT Act").

Taxability in the Developer's Hands: The income received by the Developer under a JDA in the form of the proceeds from the sale of his interest in a developed estate is regarded as his "business income" and is subject to the corresponding tax laws.

The sum received by the landowner in any manner is regarded as "Capital Gains" and is therefore subject to taxation in the landowner's hands.

Code on JDA

The following categories are covered by the GST on Joint Development Agreements and SAC Code:

Category GST Rate SAC Code

GST on the transfer of development rights (taxability in the hands of the developer)

18%

9972

GST on the construction service of apartments that the developer gave to the landowner for the transfer of development rights

Affordable residential apartment: 1%

Non-affordable: 5%

Commercial apartments: 12%

9954

GST on development rights attributable to unsold apartments (residential)

18%

9972

GST on the transfer of development rights from the landowner to developer

9954

I hope this helps you.
