My Clien book a residential flat at marin lines , mumbai.

now he want to registered this flat 11/04/2013 . Building completion certificate received from architect as on 01/04/2013. now what is position about payment of service tax . is he liable to pay service tax

In my view he is not liable to pay service tax as he doing payment and registered after completion of building . As per order no. 1/2010 dated 22th june 2010 Architect is also a competent authority to issue completion certificate of building.

plz suggest me your view.

If the payment is received after issuance of completion certificate no service tax is leviable. Also it is mentioned that only in case of non-requirement of completion certificate from Government or any authorised authority under any law for the time being in force, the certificate obtained can be obtained from a registerd architect or chartered engineerr or licensed surveyor.

So i think we should look in the details the facts of the case.
