Your Guide to Taxes While Buying a Home
Without a doubt, buying a home is the biggest dream of everyone’s life. But, it doesn’t only involve the amount of a home. Besides, the house-cost there comes with multiple taxes in hand too. So, here is a quick guide to the taxes payable while buying a home.
Stamp Duty
The foremost tax that is imposed on homebuyers is none other than stamp duty. Basically, it’s a kind of tax that is levied upon by the state government when a property is bought and sold. As per the provisions of the Indian Stamps Act, this tax is charged . Moreover, it is levied on the whole agreement value as mentioned in the Sales Agreement Stamp duty rate. These rates vary from state to state.
Registration Charges:
As the name hints, registration charges imply the registration of a property. As per the Indian Registration Act, this charge comes along with the stamp duty. However, the amount charged for registration charges varies from state to state. But, no property registration is possible without these registration charges.
Tax deducted at source (TDS):
In the world of real estate, if the cost of a property is more than 50 Lakhs, a TDS worth 1% of the agreement value is required to be paid to the Govt. of India. TDS is yet another integral element of tax that relates directly to home-buying.
GST (Goods and Services Tax): This is a tax that is levied on goods and services.
Apart from goods, GST is imposed on the real-estate sector too. But, only when the property is an under-construction property and the Occupation Certificate (OC) is not been issued. The pre-fixed GST rate for an under-construction property is 12% of the specified agreement value.
