[RAVINDRA BABU CHAGANTI]

Dear sir,

We were paid the service tax to builder 3.09% of agreement sale value on July-2015, but till date builder has not given service tax acknowledgement,

Could please explain about the Service tax acknowledgement towards My building name and Flat number are available?

The builder has collected service tax from you but he may not pay it one on one. He will sum up with service tax of other buyers as well for payment to government. Further the rate seems to be less.

No acknowledgement for collecting service tax from you is required to be given. The acknowledgement given for the receipt of the entire amount on the bill raised by him is the acknowledgment. As pointed out by Shri Ganeshan, the service tax seems not to be correct.

Sir,

I agree with both Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani Sir and Sh. Mariappan Govindarajan Sir. Otherwise also 100% liability of collecting and deposit of Service Tax lies on Builder Co., it being business entity as it appears from the query that construction service has been provided to individual.
