The Supreme Court is set to determine if the assignment of leasehold rights is a taxable supply of service under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) or a non-taxable transfer of land. This action stems from the Centre challenging a Gujarat High Court judgment that sided with M/s Life Sciences Chemicals, which successfully argued that the transfer was a sale of land, excluded from GST, and was part of a business reorganization. The Supreme Court has tagged this appeal with a similar, already-pending matter to resolve the definitive classification of such transactions under GST law.
