Service tax on society formation
I had purchased flat a year back in Mumbai and for which i am getting possession now. OC and society formation can be expected in a period of another 6 months to 1 year. Builder is collecting various charges like society formation, maintenance, legal, water connection and other charges on which he is imposing service tax and MVAT. Request you to suggest whether service tax can be levied on these.
