Hi All,
I wanted to understand on how service tax is being charged on under construction properties(flat)
The builder of the property we have identified is charging Service Tax @ 4.944% on the construction cost and 12.36% on other amenities like registration charges, club house, EB charges, Piped Gas, Legal Valuation, Assessment Charge etc.,
Reading some of the threads on Jago Investor and other articles on the net that service tax is calculated @ 12.36% of 25% of Gross Value of the Property.
Any idea what are the costs that will get included in the Gross Value of a Property ?? Registration Costs is it included??
The way the builder is charging above is it correct ?
VAT is 2% of the total construction cost ?
Any help will be useful. Thanks!
