GST Ruling01/2026: Disposal of Three Investment Properties

Three properties held for over 30 years were treated as capital assets for this registration ruling.

Source checked · 11 October 2026 Advance ruling · case-specific

Facts supporting the conclusion

The unregistered company rented out properties A,B and C and conducted investment-holding activities. It had held them for rental income or appreciation, had no recurring property-purchase-and-sale history and no other property sales since incorporation. Other annual taxable supplies were belowS$1 million. The company intended to sell all three and then apply for striking off. The capital-sale values were excluded when assessing registration liability.

Separate transaction evidence from general thresholds

Maintain acquisition, rental and accounting records that explain the investment purpose and disposal plan. Multiple properties can be capital assets, but the number sold alone does not determine their classification. This is applicant-specific registration treatment, not general relief on commercial-property sales. The summary describes a quarterly retrospective test; because that description differs from current general registration guidance, verify the applicable statutory period instead of reproducing it as a universal threshold rule.
