Service tax implication on plotted scheme

This query is : Resolved 

04 February 2016 Q.If a builder selling a plot for Rs.10,00,000
Collected towards Land Value Rs.6,00,000
Collected towards Land Development Rs.4,00,000
Whether it attracts service tax if yes then how much % to be paid, any abatement is there?

04 February 2016 Collected towards land value is exempted from service tax. Collected towards land development is subject to service tax excluding material cost.

05 February 2016 Partly agree with the expert.

Collections towards land value is exempted from service tax.

Collection towards land development is a composite contract to provide material and labour for development of land. This would squarely fall within the definition of Works Contract, even though the materil component and labour component may be separately computed. Hence on the whole consideration of land development Rs.4,00,000/- is subject to Service Tax under Works Contract Service. As per provisions as at present an abatement of 30% on the consideration is applicable and under Reverse charge Mechanism the service recipient is liable to pay 50 % of Service Tax. Therefore the liability of the service provider is Service Tax 14% plus 0.5% Swatch Bharat Cess on 35% of consideration received for Land development.


05 February 2016 Thank you sir for your valuable suggestion if there is no material component what should be the service tax rate?

05 February 2016 If there is no material involved service tax applicable on full value of 4 lacs.

05 February 2016 14.5% on Rs.4,00,000

05 February 2016 Yes it is ..............
