Applicability
Service tax will apply in respect of services provided or to be provided on or after 1-7-2010.
Thus, a builder/developer is not liable to pay service tax in respect of services provided upto 1-7-2010. Such bifurcation is possible only if the builder/developer keeps proper accounts and records.
If construction is fully complete before 1-7-2010, no tax is payable as service tax is on provision of service which is the taxable event. Receipt of payment does not decide tax liability.
Valuation
Principally, service tax is payable on value of taxable services.
Thus, if a service provider has proper costing records, it is permissible to deduct value of material and land (or calculate value of service on cost plus profit basis) and pay service tax on value of service @ 10.30%.
If this is not feasible, then tax is payable @ 10.30% on 25%/33% of entire value of contract including material (used by builder plus supplied free of cost by customer), but then Cenvat credit is not available, as explained below.
(a) on 33% of gross amount charged if the gross amount does not include value of land
(b) on 25% of gross amount charged if the gross amount includes value of land (Till 1-7-2010, the 25% scheme was not available. Only 33% scheme was available).
