I have a query regarding the liability of payment of service tax. Here is an example. Mr A is a builders and developers company. Mr B is construction contractor. If Mr.A is giving a construction contract to Mr.B for Rs.1000 per square feet to build a residential complex with materials and labour. Then Mr.B will charge Mr.A service tax on what amount? ? Mr.A will b selling under construction units to buyers and he will collect service tax from them @3.09% of the agreement value. Can Mr.A adjust the Service tax he has already paid to Mr.B for construction contract and pay the balance to the Service tax department.
