Charge of Service Tax, Service Tax

[Amitosh Moitra]

If I collaborate with the owner of land to build a res complex/commercial complex to which service tax is attracted, and the terms of collaboration is that both, I and the owner of land equally share the sale of space proceeds, Do i have to charge service tax and raise a bill on the amount I spend on construction of the owners share?

Service tax is liable to paid by the person who is engaged and providing construction services. It is not upon the person who gets the building constructed from a contractor. Therefore such collaboration is of no use at all.
