Hii
We have purchase 1room kitchen 2 years back at nalasopra west. We have paid almost 2 lacs for society registration, agreement registration etc. After that we cleared with builder that nothing has to be paid after that for any reason. All dues whether it is service tax, registration tax etc have been paid.
Now since last 1 month, builder is calling us to pay service tax of rs. 50,000/- that is after almost 2 & half years, so what to do now? We are not sure whether it is mentioned in our agreement or not? But, if it is not mentioned then what is the solution?
Builder says we have to pay 4% of property value as service tax, if it is so why he has not said anything in past 2& half years?
Whether it is necessary to pay?
What will be the solution?
He says if we will not pay immediately, he will block water supply, what is the solution?
Pls revert back as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Darshna

Please check your agreement pper and please ask the builder to give you in writing about Service Tax quoting the relevant rule under which he is demanding.
Has the property been registered when handed over to you ?
Has the property received OC ?
Are other purchasers also being asked to pay Service Tax ?
What is the Service Tax Registration number of the Builder ?
Is it documented that" After that we cleared with builder that nothing has to be paid after that for any reason. "
