Real estate seeks input tax credit for leasing activities

Realty developers and global institutional investors with exposure to commercial real estate have approached the government seeking input tax credit (ITC) for leasing activity.

Representatives from international funds, private equity players and leading real estate developers will be meeting officials of the Ministry of Finance this week following the submissions made by them in this matter, media sources say.

These entities are seeking input tax credit on goods or services used for the construction of immovable property against leasing services, which is currently restricted under Section 17(5) of the Central Goods & Services Tax Act, 2017. Under the earlier service tax regime, a developer constructing premises used for leasing was not restricted from availing Central Value Added Tax (CENVAT) credit (input tax credit) on service tax paid on services other than works contract services.

Under the current GST regime, credit on all inputs and input services are blocked to the same developer, as per a submission made to the government by Asia Pacific Real Estate Association.

Creativity is for Humans, Productivity is for Robots!

On most construction sites, the rhythm of progress is measured by the clang of steel, the hum of machinery and the sweat of thousands. But increasingly, new sounds are entering the mix: the quiet efficiency of algorithms, the hum of drones overhead, and the precision of robotic arms at work. Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data. It is turning blueprints into living simulations, managing fleets of machines, and helping engineers make decisions before a single brick is laid. This is not the construction of tomorrow; it is the architecture of today – built on ..
