Dear All,

As we know, abatement on Service Tax on Construction Service will be 75% if following condition is fulfilled, otherwise abatement will be 70%:

i. Carpet Area less than 2000 Sq. Ft.

ii. Consideration is less than Rs.1 Crore.

Now my query is, suppose in a Complex there are units/flats/shops of 1800 Sq. Ft amounting Rs. 50 Lakhs each and a person bought 2 or more unit/flat/shop in that complex, What rate of abatement will be available to him?

Regards,

CA Milan Agrawal

yes, the abatement of 75% is allowable if above conditions are fulfiled.

In case of Commercial construction abatement of 70% allowable.

Refer notification No.09/2013 ST 08.05.2013

Yes, 75% abatmenet subject to above limits is available for each 'residential unit' irrespective of buyer purching single or multiple flats. For other than residential units, abatemnet is always 70%.
