Abstract: In India, the real estate sector is prosperous but due to multiple taxes, business in this sector is becoming problematic. This study shows the GST impact on the work contract and real estate sector in India which is still unexplored due to advanced development of GST. This research examine the complexity of tax and construction costs before and after the implementation of GST. This study is based on secondary data and different descriptive statistics have been used for analysis. The study revealed that the construction capital cost has been mostly affected by land acquisition and building materials by the implementation of GST, which led to increased property prices. It is concluded that the GST has a positive impact on the work contract and real estate sector in India. The simplification of the tax structure has led to a reduction in the cost of properties.
