09 March 2011 Service tax is leviable on advance payment once the construction of the complex is under service tax. Rate of tax depends on the scheme opted by the developer.

09 March 2011 Agree with expert. S Tax is payable alongwith every payment.

Most developers opt for the 75% abatement scheme under which the effective rate is 2.575%.
