30 January 2013 Dear Nitin,

The Service tax is paid on 25% of the Value if it includes value of Land.
(Notification No.26/2012-ST dated 20-06-2012)

In all other cases it is paid on 40% of the value.(Rule 2A of Service Tax Rules,2006)

The exemption up to 12 residential flats has been deleted so today more then single residential unit is taxable.

Thanks
