What you say is correct. Service tax on purchase and sale of flats(residential building), if any sum is paid prior to issue of completion certificate, is proposed to be made taxable in the Finance Bill, 2010. This provision shall be effective from a date to be notified after the Bill receives the assent of the President.
Probably, the builder is charging 4% extra, treating the service under the category of "Works Contract".
