08 October 2014 In case you are making only a single residential unit only for a single family then service tax will be exempt on the above.

However, building comprises more than one residential unit then service tax will be taxable under works contract on 40% value net rate of service tax will be 4.944%.

Further, in case service recipient is a corporate and provider is non-corporate reverse charge will also be applicable.
