this is regarding a payment towards agreement for construction of flat with a builder. the builder is not asking for service tax on the payment value. could it be that the builder can come back later asking for service tax after registering the flat. Once registration is done, what hold will the builder have on the buyer for claiming the Service Tax and same is for VAT. I need help in understanding as to who is liable for Service tax and VAT ?

Although the Builder is liable and coming to the buyer at later date for ST & VAT amount, the flat would have been registered in the name of buyer and what type of hold does the builder have on the flat buyer ? Can the flat buyer deny the liability as the flat is already registered ?
