\n3. As a result, incidence of Central Excise duty, VAT, Entry Tax, etc. on construction material is also currently borne by the builders, which they pass on to the customers as part of the price charged from them. This is not visible to the customer as it forms a part of the cost of the flat.
\n4. The current headline rate of service tax on construction of flats, residences, offices etc. is 4.5%. Over and above this, VAT @ 1% under composition scheme is also charged. The buyer only looks at the headline rate of 5.5%. In other cities\/states, where VAT is levied under the composition scheme @ 2% or above, the headline rate visible to the customer is above 6.5%.<\/p>\n
