Hi vivek..what is the resin behind increasing this service tax..?? It has forced the developers to increase the cost of acquiring high-end homes or flats which will ultimately hit the pockets of customers.
Hi rituraj..service tax has been increased to 3.6 percent from erstwhile 3.09% for house worth Rs 1 crore or more (carpet area of 2,000 sq ft or more).
Hi Gireesh...if you are buying an apartment of Rs 1 crore then you have to pay Rs 3.60 lakh as service tax after April 1, 2013 . But if you are planning to pay before or till March 31, 2013..then you will have to pay Rs 3.1 lakh.
