Hi,

As the dealer has not disclosed you about payment of VAT as well as service tax, therefore you are not liable to make nay such payments and can even take counter measures of filing consumer complaint against the same demanding damages, however you also need to provide me the copy of Agreement to Sell which must have been executed between you and the builder as the same will clarify the stand of the parties for the present situation.
