Vat & service tax applicability

My son has purchased a Flat for Rs.25 Lacs in an under construction property at Patna in Sep 2012. The property is in the final stage of completion. The 1st sale agreement has been registered after paying stamp duty & registration fee as applicable.

Can someone help me,how much VAT and Service Tax is applicable at present and how it has been calculated.

The builder is telephonically asking Rs. 1.25 Lacs including 20,000 as interest for delay in service tax payment which he has not paid. He is not willing to give anything in writing.

Please let me know whether interest for non payment of service tax by the builder is applicable to me. Till date there is no demand in writing for this. However he has sent several reminder for final 20% payment applicable on completion of the construction.

Your advise is solicited.

Service tax

Date: 24th December ,2013.
Dear sir,
I purchased a house property having built up area 875 sq.feet in lonavala . I entered in to an agreement for sale on 8th August 2012 .and conveyance deed was made on 12 th sept.2012.The builder produced the occupancy certificate dated 06 th june , 2012 which is issued by municipal corporation. The builder told to me that it is completion certificate.
MY question is relating to service tax.
1.Whether I am liable to pay the service tax if the transaction is made after completion of construction ?
2.Whether the purchaser is liable to pay the service tax if the purchase price is less than Rs.20 lakh.
3.Genrally the document is always similar to the other purchaser and if it is mentioned that I agree to pay the government dues or taxes if there will be change in the act. So what are the changes in the provisions of the act which affects the purchaser?
4. I got message from builder through society president to pay the service tax.Whether it is legal to ask for service tax when the construction is completed before the sale deed?
Kindly guide me which will helpful to us and all.
Thanking You,
Yours Faithfully.
Mr.N.B.Chaudhari.
