Ask refund of service tax from your builder with 6% interest rate. On 3 Jun Delhi high court given judgment (WP (C) 2235/2011) that service tax is not applicable for flat construction. Further HC ordered builder to refund service tax amount with 6% intrest from date of deposit amount till refund of amount of service tax. Hence all flat purchasers who have paid service tax to builder Pl ask it back with 6% intrest rate. Please demand it with written register letter and give period of 15 days for refund and if he fails then approach to consumer court stating order copy If builder is refusing to give it back with 6% intrest rate.

Hii,

Where Service provider is a Works Contractor and Service receiver is Non business entity (Trust), Reverse charge mechanism is attracted since it is works contact. 50% is paid by service provider and same is recovered from service receiver. However Service receiver being a Non business entity is not required to pay the balance 50% of tax to the government. In such case who is the person liable to pay the balance 50% of service tax.

Hi,

Service tax on works contract is to be paid on reverse charge basis if applicable, as the rule says that 50% should be paid by service provider and 50% should be paid by service receiver. If service provider charges total 15% of service tax amount in the invoice and the service provider is not accepting to change the invoice then how we should go forward?
