Service tax to be levied on construction of flats

Comments(3) Sub Category:Uncategorized Posted On: Jan 21, 2012

As per the recent Bombay High court’s order, service tax will be levied on construction of properties.

Earlier, Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry (MCHI) challenged the order of paying extra service tax.

The order also stated that only state government has the power to levy tax on flats, buildings and other plots.

MCHI has already given a service tax of Rs 180 crore collected from buyers.

Due to the service tax levied, buyers have to pay more for a property and because of which builders have witness a 30% dip in sales.

Now, flat buyers have to pay 2.5% more as service tax on total cost of the flat.
