If the number of flats are more than or equal to 12, then the builder has to pay Service TAx @ 12.36%. However, there are three options for the builder. 1. on 33% of value without Cenvat Credit on raw materials used for construction. 2. on payment of 100% Value with Cenvat Credit on raw materials. 3. 100% on value of on total value excluding value of the materials used. The other option is also available to them. That i payment of 4% on the gross amount under works contract. The actual Service TAx payable is collected by the builder from the buyers. In view of the above you may decide the Service TAx to be reimbursed by you while purchasing the flat.
