Service tax is levied by the Central Government on the construction services offered by the builder to buyers. Presently the rate of service tax is 12%. Taxes like Education cess and higher education cess is calculated on top of the service tax which makes the effective rate of service tax to 12.36%.

Hi,
Judgment will push the states' VAT powers to duty all exchanges for properties that are under development. This could likewise incorporate the land exchanges deduced in the previous couple of years.

The judgment was professed by a bigger seat of the Supreme Court, so the decision might be viewed as the tradition that must be adhered to until it is overruled by an established seat of the zenith court.
