Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Corrigendum Notification No. 09/2024 – Union Territory Tax (Rate)

Q1: What is the corrigendum to Notification No. 09/2024 – UT Tax (Rate)?

Answer:
The corrigendum, dated 22nd October 2024, replaces the term “any property” with “any immovable property” in entry 5AB of Notification No. 09/2024-UTT (Rate). This ensures clarity that the reverse charge mechanism (RCM) applies only to immovable property rentals from unregistered persons.

Q2: Why was this correction necessary?

Answer:
The term “any property” was broad and ambiguous—it could imply movable property like laptops, vehicles, etc. The corrected term “any immovable property” now aligns with the GST intent to apply reverse charge only to real estate and commercial property leases.

Q3: Which original notification was impacted by this corrigendum?

Answer:
Notification No. 09/2024–Union Territory Tax (Rate), which amended Notification No. 13/2017–UT Tax (Rate), is the corrected document.

Answer:
Immovable property under GST includes land, buildings, commercial spaces, warehouses, etc. Rentals of such property from unregistered landlords will now clearly attract GST under reverse charge.

Answer:
No❌. Residential dwellings are already excluded. The corrigendum clarifies that only commercial immovable properties are under reverse charge when rented from unregistered persons.

Answer:
The corrigendum was issued on 22nd October 2024 and is applicable immediately from that date.
