How to calculate service tax in construction catatory

Answer Posted / v p narasimhan

In case of a construction sector the rule for Service Tax
applies as follows:
1) If its a commercial complex - Service Tax is applicable
2) If its a Residential complex - Service Tax will not be
applicable (provided there should not be more than 8 flats)
The calculation should be as follows:

1/3 of the work value alone is taxable @ 12.36 %

If the work value is 12.00 lacs - 4.00 lacs is turnover for
service tax.

Important note: Since 1/3 alone chargeable for tax no input
credit is allowed.

If the major materials viz., steel/cement is supplied by the
client the work value has to be derived after deducting the
above costs
