23 September 2011 I had given Advance payment of Rs. 2.51 Lacs to our builder for the premises which is under construction. I received a letter that "You have paid Rs. 2.51 Lacs towards your office out of which out of which we have paid Rs. 6,301/- on yr behalf as Service Tax."

Pls let me know what should be the Accounting Entry I have to pass in my books for Payment to Builder and for Service Tax ? [ Specific accounting entry would be helpful to understand.]

This is my first year of Consultancy and I did not generate any revenue. Then also I am liable to pay such service tax ?

If not, what should be the process to get this refunded ?

Will Builder charge me Service Tax on all my payments ?
