Valuation on construction of complex /Building Principally, service tax is payable on value of taxable services. Thus, if a service provider has proper costing records, it is permissible to deduct value of material and land (or calculate value of service on cost plus profit basis) and pay service tax on value of service @ 10.30%. If this is not feasible, then tax is payable @ 10.30% on 25%/33% of entire value of contract including material (used by builder plus supplied free of cost by customer), but then Cenvat credit is not available, as explained below. (a) on 33% of gross amount charged if the gross amount does not include value of land (b) on 25% of gross amount charged if the gross amount includes value of land (Till 1-7-2010, the 25% scheme was not available. Only 33% scheme was available).
