Dear Mr Sanjay
M/s Holiday Developers had received all the payment before completion of there project, hence they are liable to pay service tax under construction of complex service.
They are entitled to claim exemption to the extent of 75% of the gross taxable value of services, in case cost of land forms part of value of service.
Hence they will be liable to pay service tax on 25% of the value.
Say if total value is 1,00,00,000 then service tax @ 12.36% will be payable on Rs.25,00,000 or say 3.09% on Rs 1,00,00,000
