Govt says claim of 18% GST on house rent for tenants is misleading
The fact-checking arm of the Press Information Bureau on Friday tweeted that reports claiming 18% GST on house rent for tenants are misleading.
Renting of residential unit taxable only when it is rented to a business entity, it said.
Further, it also said that no GST is applicable when it is rented to a private person for personal use. No GST is applicable even if the proprietor or partner of the firm rents residence for personal use, the tweet said.
