Architects and architecture firms must charge 18% GST on all professional services including building design, structural consultancy, interior planning, and site supervision. The place of supply for services related to immovable property is the location of the property — not where the architect's office is registered. This means an architect in Mumbai designing a building in Pune must charge CGST + Maharashtra SGST (since the property is in Maharashtra).
When billing a client in a different state from where the property is located, careful place-of-supply analysis is essential to avoid paying the wrong type of GST. Our invoice generator correctly handles IGST vs CGST+SGST determination based on supplier and customer state.

| Architectural design & consultancy | 998311 | 18% |
| Interior design & decoration | 998312 | 18% |

A Hyderabad architect bills a Hyderabad developer for residential complex design: Design fee ₹5,00,000 (SAC 998311). GST at 18%: CGST 9% (₹45,000) + SGST 9% (₹45,000) = ₹90,000. Total invoice: ₹5,90,000. The developer can claim ITC on ₹90,000 if the units are for sale (not personal use).

For building and site-related services, place of supply is where the property is located. An architect in Chennai designing a building in Delhi must charge IGST (since it's inter-state even though the property determines the state).
Architects can claim ITC on professional expenses (software, computers). ITC on construction materials is blocked if used for self-constructed property. Developers who buy architectural services can claim ITC if the project is for sale.
Yes, if annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh. Architects must issue tax invoices, file monthly GSTR-1 (sales) and GSTR-3B (payment) returns, and reconcile ITC in GSTR-2B.
