I have booked an apartment for 30 lakh INR,Building is under construction and will ready in another 6 months. I have agreed to pay 5.5% VAT for builder. Initially builder told no service tax need to be paid by me, but now he is demanding service tax @12%. Legally who should pay VAT and ST builder or Customer? what is the rate of VAT n ST in Bangalore? On what value I should pay the VAT and ST? my property registration value is 23 lakh. Thanks.
