As of now, both VAT and Service Tax are applicable on residential flats.
VAT-
Applicable as per a composition rate (in Andhra Pradesh) on the building agreement. But department is (incorrectly) demanding VAT on land component of the agreement also.
VAT is applicable as per local State Law. It differs from state to state
Service Tax-
Applicable for complexes having more than 12 residential units at a composition rate of 4%+ EC/SHEC = 4.12%.
Since there are less than 12 residential flats, service tax is not applicable
