Service tax will be applicable only after July 2010 on under Construction Flat not on completed flat or resale of flat.

Dear Abhay applicability of Service Tax is proposed in Budget 2010 actual amendment is after passing of Finance Bill in parliament which is suppose to in July month. This is my view.

Dear all, please help me

My builder is insisting me to pay the balance amount before 31st March 2010 (bank loan amount) and get it registered in my name for avoiding service tax, whcih is proposed in the Union Budget 2010.

Therefore, i would reqeust you to kindly provide me expert opinion.

I have booked a flat in Bangalore during August 09 and 90% of the construction is completed. I have also arranged bank loan and only Rs.5.00 lacs to be released by LIC HFC. Now I understand that ST has been reintroduced. Hence please confirm, the ST is applicable to me, as I have booked in aug 09. Further please inform me if the registration is taken place before 31.3.2010, the reintroduced st is applicable?

In case of Ammendments in INDIRECT TAX they are applicable as soon as they are announced & hence "SERVICE TAX WILL BE APPLICABLE TO ALL THOSE WHO BUY UNDER CONSTRUCTION HOUSE AFTER 26th FEB."

ok sir, it means that no need of immediate disbursement of loan amount for getting the flat registered before 31.3.10.

Dear Abhay

10.3% * 1/4 = 2.575% only. I think you have calculated 12.3% * 1/4 = 3.075
