Complaint Details
I'am a common Citizen of India residing at Mumbai Jogeshwari (East) area.

I would need your help regarding Service Tax & VAT as you are an experts in this field.

I had booked a Residential 1 BHK flat at Royal Palms Estate, Aarey Colony, Goregoan (East) in 2010 which is still under construction.

The Registration has been done on 27th December, 2012 for the same.

Now, my Builder is asking me to pay Service Tax @ 2.575% of the Agreement Value which I'm paying as per the payment Schedule & also VAT @ 5% on the full agreement value.

Could you please assist me on it whether i'm obliged to pay VAT @ 5% & Service tax @ 2.575% of the Full Agreement Value to my Builders who in turn will pay it to the State/Central Govt.
