Dear sir/Madam,

Please clarify my below concern.
Recently I bought a new flat(Ready to occupy, occupy certificate already issued) for 30 lakhs which was divided into 22 laks as sale deed amount and 8 lakhs as addtional amenities amount and loan was also sanctioned by local SBI branch.

But builder has got already Occupancy Certificate from municipal corporation before we approach him and before sale deed date. After loan was sanctioned, I paid all the amount but now builder is asking me to pay the Service Tax. I showed him rule but he is arguing that while approaching bank as we have divided the amount into "sale deed" and "additional amenities" implies that flat under-construction and hence I need to pay the Service tax.
Please clarify my concern. Thanks in advance.

I have availed excess cenvat credit of approx 37000/- in the m/o Apr-12.Return for the period apr-june was duly filed in the m/o nov-12.
It is now detected that Rs 37000/- have been excess availed because of which I have paid less Service Tax in the M/o Apr-12.
To rectify the mistake I have paid that Rs 37000/- along with the liability of Nov-12 on 05/12/2012.
I want to know what is the rate of interest on late payment and how to rectify the mistake in return so that compliance is complete.

Dear Freinds,

If an individual is giving his house on rent, then there is no service tax on renting for residential service. Suppose the individual charges Rs 70000/- p.m. as rent and apart from it Rs 50000/- p.m. for lift, parking, computer, garden and water supply. Now firstly the rent is out of purview of service tax. Secondly since the amount received for other services is less than Rs 10 Lacs in a year, there is no service tax liability on the individual (landlord). Is this contention correct or not?

I HAVE COLLECTED SERVICE TAX AMOUNT IN NOV 2012 FOR THE PERIOD APR TO SEP 2012, HOWEVER I HAVE REGISTERED FOR SERVICE TAX IN SEP 2012 ONLY.
