Dear Colleagues

I have a question regarding taxability of service tax for residential complex in following situation

01.  Construction and Booking of residential flat commences after 01/07/2010

02.  Building completion certificate received from competent authority in August 2011.

03.  Builder has taken 70 % payment during the period July 2010 to August 2011

04.  Balance 30 % payment has been received after obtaining completion certificate.

 

Now My quarry is

Is builder is liable to pay service tax on entire 100 % payment or on only 70 % payment which he has received before obtaining completion certicate?

Give your views on this and forward me circulars and/or notification in relation to this.
