Q: How will be service tax calculated on new apartment (under construction) in Hyderabad area and where should we pay service tax? for example, if I am buying a flat in Hyderabad of area 1500 sft @ 45 lacs including parking and amenities like electricity, water, lift, generator etc.

My comments to replies
Service Tax would be on 25% of the value of the property and not on the entire cost. Tax would be applicable only on the cost of labour or services of the builder or developer. All costs of land and construction material of the property would not fall under the purview of service tax.

You can calculate the service tax in this method 10.3% of 1/3 of 45,00,000.
there is a confusion on this,as the tax paid should be12.33 service tax on 33% or 25% on total value .
