Facts of the Case

The applicant was in business of constructing commercial complex, renovation, fabrication, furnishing and built out interior works of building for letting them out on rental basis. It filed an application for advance ruling to determine whether it would be allowed to take ITC on expenditure incurred for ‘Civil and Interior Works’ since the property would be further used for letting out to different tenants.

AAR Held

The Authority for Advance Ruling observed that clause (c) and (d) of section 17(5) of GST Act, 2017 restricts ITC in respect of works contract services and goods or services used towards construction of immovable property. Therefore, ITC of GST paid in relation to ‘civil and interior works’ in building and on ‘construction of commercial complex’ would not be admissible.
