If a builder chooses the first option then he would have to pay Rs 4 crore for a project of Rs 100 crore. The amount of the project would be calculated on the basis of turnover of the builder from selling flats or houses.
I heard that the tax would be imposed only on those developers or builders who construct flats or houses on behalf of the purchasers. The builders would have two options - they can pay at the rate of 4% of the total project cost, under a scheme of excise and taxation department. Otherwise, the builder may produce bills of all inputs like cement or iron bought for the construction, for calculation of VAT to be paid. However, in the second option, VAT won't be imposed on the cost of land and labour involved in the project. Haryana has different slabs for VAT on goods. It is 5% for iron bar and 13.2% for sand.
It is said that tax will be levied on any person or entity with a turnover of Rs 5 lakh.. This means many developers will be coming under this tax net.
The state govt has proposed to impose VAT on builders, developers and promoters. A survey will be done and in this month a meeting will be held to finalise the matter.
What’s the use dude.. anyways if developers are made to pay tax then the developers will put the extra money on their project thus increasing cost of projects. Ultimately buyers only suffer.
