Section 11(8D) of the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985 contains the compulsory zero-rating of land rules for commercial leases. This question we’ve been asked explains how s 11(8D) operates. It covers various factual situations, including:
- the exclusion for rents and lump sum payments of 25% or less of the term consideration;
- stand-alone lease assignments;
- lease assignments in the context of business asset sales;
- lease procurement services in the context of business asset sales;
- lease procurement services where an existing lease is currently continuing on an implied term; and
- lease procurement services where an existing lease is to be cancelled.
