Hello,
I had a contact with a builder for constructing a home in 70 lakhs all in as per the contract however after signing the contract builder said gst will be extra it will be spilt 50-50 to which we agreed verbally. Gst will be 2lakhs max as per the initial conversation which needs to be paid by us.
Now after everything is done builder is saying he paid 8 lakhs gst ( 50 lakhs*18% ) and we need to pay 4 lakhs.
I transferred money in 3 different accounts, 2 personal accounts and one builders company account ( 25 lakhs )
Rest money was paid in 2 personal accounts and in around 12 lakhs in cash.

How can i save this GST, builder is trying to make money from me.

ask for his GST number and check if he has paid 8L GST for Material or maybe he bought everything in cash. just say my CA is asking for GST number and i need his advice.

also above is waste of time, you go by the contract. it is written thing. dont complicate this. say i dont have any more money.

There is no way to find out how much GST someone has paid using a GST number 😄 Sorry, that’s not how things work 😄
