Service Tax Applies to Under-Construction Homes in Unapproved Layouts, Part of Residential Complexes Per Notification. A query was raised about the requirement to pay Service Tax on an under-construction independent house purchased through a builder, where the layout lacks approval from a competent authority. The builder is constructing 36 houses within a financial year. One respondent clarified that no exemption from Service Tax is available, as the house is part of a residential complex as defined in the relevant notification. Another respondent emphasized that the tax is applicable regardless of the layout's approval status, as the house forms part of a complex. Concerns about potential legal issues due to lack of approval were also mentioned. (AI Summary)
