Regarding **service tax on purchase of under-construction house property**, here’s a clear explanation:
### Applicability of Service Tax on Construction of House Property
* Service tax on construction services related to **immovable property** (like under-construction houses/flats) became applicable **from 01 July 2010**, based on the introduction of “Construction of Complex Services” under the Finance Act, 2010 and relevant notifications.
* **If you paid any part of the amount to the builder before 01 July 2010 (the effective date of the service tax), service tax is not applicable on that portion.** Service tax liability arises only on amounts paid or agreed to be paid **on or after** the effective date.
