    GST on old resendtial unit sale

    Thank you for your input. To my knowledge, 1. There are no renovations on the property. Most of the area are in original condition. 2. Vendor is a private owner and this unit was his PPOR prior to sale. 3. The last sale on the property was around 14-15 years back.
