03 September 2013 As you entered into an agreement during the construction of the flat you have bought,and also paid some advances, you are liable to pay both VAT and ST on the construction cost of the property. Your builder should be registered under VAT Act and ST Act and filing returns regularly. The construction cost has to be calculated by deducting 30-40% of the total cost towards land cost,and the charges made for various amenities like swimming pool,gym,club house,park,playground etc
