Is service tax applicable on development of FARMHOUSE..???
There is a Co. (eg. ABC Pvt Ltd.) and it undertakes the work of
development of land, registered in the name of its Directors (
purchase cost of land in the hands of Directors- Rs. 700 per Sq.
yards), into FARMHOUSES. Later on these developed farmhouses are sold
and the sale proceeds ( say Rs. 1325 per Sq yard) received by the Co.
are reimbursed to the directors ..Not the whole amount is reimbursed,
only the cost of Land+ some % age of Profit is paid to the directors
i.e a part of sale receipt is retained by the Co.
Is Service Tax payable on such transaction..?? If yes, then by whom
and on which amount [ Gross Amount i.e Rs. 1325/- or Net Proceeds i.e
Rs. 625 (Rs. 1325-Rs.700)].. Pls reply asap..
