02 September 2012 1. You should determine the value of service as per Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006 as amended.
2. determine whether service is taxable or not - notification 25/2012
3. what is the % of service on which tax is payable by you as service provider - notification 30/2012
4. consider tax payable as per abatement notification 26/2012

now, decide what should you pay

Your Additional questions :-
1. since, service is provided to individual it does not comes under RCM
2. If this land belongs to all individuals separately and you are given a contract by individual person and you do not have any sort of interest in land, this service will be an exempted service. If full detail given a perfect answer could be given
