hi,

Since the buying and selling of vacant plots does not come under the purview of the Service Tax provisions, as the transactions are selling of the immovable property, hence, the levy of service tax does not attract, however, if the assessees involving in the development of roads, culverts, lights etc. on such activities, the service tax has to be paid. As because, there is rendition of service to the customers.

VAt is applicable of sale of land.
