This query is : Resolved
I recently bought an apartment and have registered it. My builder had sent a demand letter for service tax on one time maintenance advance.
Recently, I read an article http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-12-10/mumbai/45033316_1_service-tax-flat-buyers-home-buyers which says that the service tax has been removed.
Guidance please if I have to pay my builder or not?

I agree with the experts that the service tax has to be paid by the buyer.
