02 November 2015 Hello, I want some experts help regarding service tax to collect from our customers (who had purchased flats from our co.). Our co. had allready paid service tax to gov. but we have not collected service tax from customers yet. So please help us that under which section we can send notice to our customers to claim service tax. Whether a builder/developer can collected Interest from customers on late payment of service tax or vat? kindly substantiate with some case law or notification or circular or section Thanks

02 November 2015 It is your responsibility to colect service tax and pay. You should raise invoice for service tax paid, and collect it from customers. If customers are not paying, it is a civil dispute just like recovery proceedings of any amount. If there is any delayed payment, you can collect interest amount from customers just like interest on any other amount.
