Hello sir,
I recently booked a flat in kolkata.

When I am about to make agreement they are now telling me that I have to Pay "Service Tax" for total property( 6.49lac)@ 3.09% and "nomination fees" @ 2% of the sale value at the time of agreement.

Please advice me is there any recent law/rule which make consumes to pay service tax and nomination fees?

Sir, I also want to know from you that is there any kind of rule for paying maintenance charge of the flat ?

thanking you..

Service tax is payable by allottee after the financial year 2009-10 but the rate sems highly on higher side. Better to know the rate of tax from local VAT office.
