Service tax is payable by the developer @ 2% on the total amount (provided he avails composition scheme) else he has to pay @ 12.36% after availing Input credit.
Works Contract Service came into effect from 01/06/2007 onwards only. The question itself was asked on 10/05/2007 and the flat already bought. Therefore, I think the same will attract ST @ 12.36% if no abatement is availed.
u would be required to pay service tax @ 12.36% on 33% of 6 lacs, being the construction amount/work contract if the builder does not execute sale deed in respect of the superstructure. In case the builder executes a sale deed in respect of the land & superstructure, then it is a case of transfer of property andno service tax is payable.
