Dear Experts,
I have purchased a new flat in Hyderabad in Sep,2014. I have registered it in the same month. I have paid VAT and registration amount at Registration office.
Now my builder is asking to pay Service tax, which is not mentioned previously when I paid advance amount.
Could you please clarify my below doubts:
1. Who will pay the service tax amount? Buyer or Builder?
2. Is Service tax mandatory to pay (3.09% or 12.75%) amount to builder at the time of registration?
3. Can I pay this amount to Govt. directly once after completion of the flat?
Many thanks
Jai
