a CA who is dealing in indirect taxes can help 

if interst is payable then old rates will prevail, if new rates apply then interest would be maximum from april 2011

Dear Sir,

I purchase my flat in PUNE 2009 and last week builder ask me to pay saletax 5% ( service tax ) for this as Maharashtra Govt. apply some rule on it.

I don't have any idea so please help me what to do.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Abbas I think you are refering to VAT.

There are 3 ways of calculation of VAT for transactions between June 2006 to March 2010.

But the VAT is applicable on the builders & Purchaser is not liable to pay the same.

Whether VAT is to be reimbursed by the Purchaser to the Builder would depend on case to case basis & on factors like is the construction complete, has to builder handed over the possession, is a CHS of purchasers duly formed, etc,.

 3.09% is from 2012, but you are suggesting to pay interest from 2011,

Is it correct ?

Is there any link for such rates?
