The Finance Ministry has specified July 1 as the date from which service tax levy would be applicable on the eight new services brought under the tax net in Budget 2010-11. The eight new services include services of promoting, marketing or organising of games of chance, including lottery, health services undertaken by hospitals for employees of business organisation and health services provided under health insurance schemes offered by insurance schemes, services provided for maintenance of medical records of employees of a business entity and promoting a ‘brand’ of goods, services, events and business entity etc.
New services included
The other new services include services provided by electricity exchanges and special services provided by builder to the prospective buyers such as providing preferential location.
Tax exemption
Meanwhile, the Finance Ministry has exempted from service tax the distribution of electricity by an authorised person under the Electricity Act. It has also given service tax exemption on construction services provided for Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission and Rajiv Awaas Yojana
75% abatement
The Revenue Department has also provided 75 per cent abatement on construction of complex services as well as commercial or industrial construction services. The abatement would not be available in cases where the cost of land has been separately recovered from the buyer by the builder or his representative
Dear Sir,
I booked a Flat near Medavakkam, Chennai and I registered my unit by 28-Feb-2013. And occupied the house by Apr-2013. We received the possession letter also from the builder.
At the time of registration, builder gave a Demand Note, with all charges and calculation. In that they have calculated 33% Service Tax.
Today, 27-June-2013, ST was calculated wrongly for 33%, actually ST is 40%. and they demand me to pay the remaining amount.
Request you to clarify me the ST applicability on Dwelling
Whats the ST % for the year 2013.??
What are the charges, the ST is applicable??
Please let me know the above mentioned details

Ganesh

Service tax is applicable to running projects(more than 12 dewelling units) as per the prevailing rules.All facilities such as parking lots,open parking space etc as the act says ANY amount received or deemed to be received will attract service tax.
Only if the completed apartment is purchased S.T is not applicable provided the CC is received for the project from the CMDA/DTCP as applicable.
Dear Sir,
Request you to please advice whether service tax is applicable on flats booked before 1st July, 2010. Currently there is confusion, some people says;
1. Service tax is applicable on the entire amount/cost of flat if the construction is not completed before 1st July,2010
2. Service tax is applicable only on under construction flats booked on or after 1st July, 2010 and therefore it is not applicable on the flats booked on or before 30th June, 2010.
3. Service tax is applicable only on the installments paid on or after 1st July, 2010 by buyers to the builders for under construction flat irrespective of the booking date of the flat.
4. Is service tax applicable on Parking lots, open parking taken on lease for 999 years?
Thank you.
It will be 75% abatement and not 25%.
