Please help me in clarifying on service tax calculation for construction of a house in my owned land.

I have a DTCP approved land on Chennai Suburb and i want to construct a house with built up area of 1482 sqft (GF+1 villa type for self occupation). When approached a builder, he calculated service tax as follows:

[Built up area+ Building plan approval+ EB charges+ Compund wall+ Extra filling work] *40%*15%

Is it true that service tax will be calculated @ 40%*15% from the components mentioned above. If not, how should the actual calculation should be.

Thanks in advance.

We have filed our Service Tax Returns for Apr-Sep 2015 on 18/01/2016 and Oct-Mar 2015 on 24/05/2016. Both the returns were late but no late filing fee has been paid by us.

The payment of Service Tax in both the period was always late but no payment of Interest has been made.

Expert advise is required :-

a) Can we make payment of Interest now
b) Can we make payment of Penalty for late filing now.

As far as we are aware, we can revise return only within 90 days of the filing of return which is already exceeded.

Please advise what do we do now.

Thanks & Regards,

Mohan Saxena
