05-Nov-2014 , 05:25:43 pmIn the above case, Contract(Assumed total value will exceed 900000 per contractor) will be charged to service tax under works contract service @ 4.944% (If contract is of labour+material) else 12.36 (if only of labour), Even builder will be liable to Service tax @ 3.09%(if carpet area is below 2000 Sq. Ft.) else 3.708%(if carpet area 2000Sq. ft. or more), However in both the cases builder will be able to take credit of Service tax charged (if any) by the contractors. However you also have to see the whether booking is receive after or before obtaining completion certificate from the concerned Municipalty or Panchayat
