SCOPE
When individuals are contractually employed by the manpower agency and the agency supply their services to other organization. Employer employee relationship is existed between manpower agency and the individual. Manpower agency is supplying manpower services to other organization. So here service tax liability will be arisen.
When one company transfer its employees to other company for some period. The salary is debited to other company. This is also example of manpower supply service.
Services provided in addition to employment for a consideration would be service. When employee provides services to an associate company on contract basis, it would be treated as provision of service.
CONTRACT LABOUR
Contractor means a person who undertakes to produce a given result for the establishment trough contract labour or who only supplies labour for any work of establishment.
Manpower supply service by contractor
When contractor supplies labours for work, it will be considered as manpower supply service. But if contractor hires labours for work of establishment and labours work under supervision of contractors and principal employer has no control on labours then it is not manpower supply service. So when contract is for some work and not for supply of manpower, there is no manpower supply service liability.
Example:
Mr. Prajapati supplies 3 employees to T & J Ltd. where employees are required to work under supervision of T & J Ltd. In this case, it is manpower supply service.
However, If there is no supervision and control on work of employees by T & J and employees are working under instruction of Mr. Prajapati, it is not manpower supply service and can be considered as other service.
So here control and supervision of service receiver or recruitment is necessary to establish service as manpower supply service.
When employees are hired directly by employer and employer does not avail service of manpower recruitment agency or contractor, there is no manpower supply service.
Value of taxable service:
In taxable value, Following are to be included:
salary, PF, ESI and commission of labour contractor
Case laws:
1. The appellant had supplied skilled persons to TCS and Infosys to work on software projects. Payments were made to assessee on basis of man hour basis. Number of personnel to be employed was prescribed in the agreement. It was held that it was manpower service and is taxable. Future Focus Infotech v CST.
2. When contractor gets payment for loading and unloading of cement bags and hires labours for it and also get payment according to fixed rate of different type of work, It is not manpower supply service. K Damodarareddy v CCE.
Charging on man-day or man-month basis does not make service man power service. Future Focus Infotech v CCEValuationAssessee should include total billed amount (salary of employee plus profit)under valuation for service tax.

Service tax on manpower supply and security service
1. What will be the tax treatement when both the service provider and the service receiver are a Partnership firm
2. When it is said as 0% then Is it correct that the service provider while billing need not include service tax in his bill instead the service receiver based on the labour payment make service tax payment directly to the service tax deparment @ 12.36% Kindly confirm
No reverse charge will be applicable here. service provider has to charge service tax at 12.36% on bill if his service turnover of previous year or current year is more than Rs. 10 lakhs.
We run a Placement consultancy. Ours is a partnership firm and all our clients are big FMCG Companies. Just want to know whether we are also covered under Reverse Charge Mechanism. Is so, then as per Budget 2015 , we should not levy service tax in our invoices as it is duty of service receiver to pay ST. Please clarify.
Thanks
Neetu
No, there is no reverse charge mechanism for placement services. For manpower supply service, you should have full control over manpower supplied and they are required to work under your control. This is not in your case. You are required to charge service tax at 12.36%.
WE HAVE REGESTRED SOCITY WICH HAVE PROVIDE MENPOWER TO GOVERNMENT DEPPARTMENTS WE HAVE ALSO PLACEMENT RAGSTRATION WHAT WILL BE OUR LIBILTY AS SERVICE TEX IN 2015-2016
Yes, service tax will be applicable when you are providing services to government. Service tax liablity will be accrued when your turnover of services increases Rs. 10 lakhs per annum.
Read my post for further clarification.
https://taxmasala.in/small-service-provider-exemption/
Also remember that manpower supply and placement services are different and reverse charge mechanism will be applicable to manpower supply service. But not on placement services.
Dear Madam,
My friend start a manpower supply business from FY 2015-2016
Monthly around 1,30,000/- bill raised to Local authority and Goverment office without service tax charged this method of bill correct or not please provide any exemption or RCM to these type of services
Please mail me details this mail id manjunatha.k1987@gmail.com
Our firm is a proprietorship firm. We do manpower supply on contract basis to the companies. Till last month we were charging 25% of service tax on our bills, i.e 3.09% out of 12.36%. We came to know that from april-15 onwards; we need not to charge any amount of service tax on our bill, the whole amount of service tax i.e 12.36% will be paid directly by the principle employer to the government. Please clearify us. Thanks in advance.
Yes, service tax is covered under full reverse charge for manpower supply service. You do not need to charge in bill when providing service to company.
Thanks admin.
Kindly clarify the service tax is 14% mentioned with effect from (date) present we are charging 12.36% only
Please charge 14% from 1st June, 2015. Read my post for full details.

Hello R/ Mdm,
we are Partnership Firm and receiveing the Security Service from Firm, and in Apr-15 bill he is not charging service tax, whether our firm is liable to pay service tax, pl. guide
If he has exhausted Rs. 10 lakhs service during the previous year, he will charge service tax. otherwise not. Read my post https://taxmasala.in/small-service-provider-exemption/
If he is liable to charge service tax, there is no reverse charge mechanism will be applicable when partnership firm is receiving security service. He will charge service tax at full rate at 12.36%. If he is not charging, you are not liable to pay service tax.
Hi Admin,
Let say there is a man power service provider & he is providing man power to a proprietorship company then who should pay the tax here?
No RCM is applicable if individual is providing service to proprietorship firm. However, service tax should be charged on bill and paid to government by service provider.
Also take care about small service provider exemption.
Hi Admin.
Thanks for the article. It is very informative.
I have 1 query. Is reverse charge applicable if a partnership firm provides manpower RECRUITMENT service to a company.
Under recruitment service, a profile of a candidate is sourced & if he / she is selected, then the candidate will be placed at a company on permanent roles. Here the service provider (a partnership firm) will not have any control over the candidate placed & the payment of salary to the candidate will be taken care by the Company itself.
Please confirm the service tax rate to be charged by partnership firm while raising invoice to company towards recruitment fee.
As per details given by you, the service is placement consultancy. So the rate of service tax is 12.36% with no reverse charge mechanism. The partnership firm is required to charge 12.36% ( 14% from 1st june, 2015) in bill and you are required to pay it.
Thanks!!
We have received one bill from HR Consultancy and they only provide the manpower but the same manpower will be working under our company and there is no employer and employee relation with the HR Consultancy…so pls clarify whether this will come under Placement service or Manpower supply service.If it comes under Placement service,what will be the service receiver’s liability?
If your company hires the employees through any placement consultancy and salary etc are paid directly from your company with no control on employees’s work by HR consultancy firm, it is not manpower supply but placement service.
manpower suppler charged service tax on wages + their service charges.In my opinion it should be calculated on the part of their service charges only. Pls clarify Am I correct?
No, it can’t be. It can be calculated on whole value as per notification issued by department.
Hi madam,
Here “manpower” means a continuous supply basis or a one time supply basis? Also should the service provider state in the bill that Serv Tax will be borne by the receiver?
Manpower supply includes hourly or temporary basis or continuous supply of manpower.
It is not necessary to state in the bill about reverse charge.
Still, small note can be added about RCM applicable.
Madam,
Ours is a security agency providing security services to other companies. Our concern is registered under AOP. We were billing/paying service tax as applicable till now. Since the manpower service & security services are covered under full reverse charge now, as a service provider can we discontinue billing/paying Service Tax with effect from 01 Jun 2015?
You are not required to mention in bill for service tax. charge only basic amount without service tax. But remember that fully reverse charge is applicable when you are providing service to company – corporate. When you provide service to other than company, service tax should be charged on bill.
so the 75-25% will be removed and it will be 100 RCM
Yes, 100% reverse charge will be applicable.
Madam we are Car driver service providing agancy. We provide it on hourly basis, Daily basis, and monthly basis driver service.

We have a construction company under a partnership of two, where we don’t operate under service tax system. If we want to have a business where we supply manpower and operate according to sevice tax system , is it possible to create a different company solely for this business under the same partnership, without dissolving our construction company?Kindly help.
You can create different company but as members are same,Service tax department will raise the question because overall it is to conceal the turnover.
Service Tax has been charged on basic salary and same has been paid through online. But it is learnt that the service tax should b charged on gross. Please clarify my question and suggest me solution.
we have a Pvt Ltd Company and receive security services as well as manpower services from a firm, under this situation kindly advice who will be responsible to pay service tax payment and on which rate.
Your company is liable to pay service tax at 14% ( From 1st June 2015) and 12.36% up to 31st May, 2015. The service is covered under full reverse charge .( APPLICABLE FROM 1st April, 2015).
MAM OUR COMPANY HAVE TO GIVE CONTRACT OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TO A CONTRACTOR AND MATERIAL WILL PROVIDE BY OUR COMPANY. .MEANS CONTRACTOR WILL GIVE THEIR BILL ONLY LABOUR CHARGES. IN THIS CASE UNDER WHICH SERVICE IT WILL COME. MEANS TO SAY THAT UNDER MANPOWER SUPPLY THEN WE WILL DEPOSIT SERVICE TAX 14% ON VALUE.AND Value of service excluding material
THEN IN THIS CASE SP. AND SR WIL DEPOSIT 50% ST PLZ REPLY MAM
Your service cannot be considered as manpower supply because it is specifically work contract for construction. When two definition of services are applicable, consider more specific one as per service tax rule. Consider it construction service and yes, 50% reverse charge will be applicable in your case.

Good Eve.
Ours is a Partnership firm providing manpower supply service.As of 01/04/2015 it is full reverse charge, tats understood.My query is whether the service provider has to get himself registered as he is not liable to pay any service tax?(service provider’s turnover exceeds 10 lakhs)
No need to get registered with service tax department if you are not liable to charge and pay service tax.
Mam we are a Private Limited company taking security services from a Partnership firm and I know that we are liable to pay service tax under RCM, my query is whether we have to get registered as service recipient of manpower recruitment / supply agency service although we are already registered as service provider under the above mentioned service by mistakenly. And the second question is for the month of June, 2015 service provider i.e. partnership firm has raised the bill on us by charging service tax @ 14% can they do so please clarify.
Make amendment in service tax registration certificate.
The partnership firm is right in charging rate @14% from 1st june, 2015.
We are paying two things to manpower agency (Rembursement of salary for the employees provided and Service charge of 10% for there service of providing the manpoer….On what value service tax will be applicable (on full value of invoice or only on service portion)
Full value should be considered as taxable value. Means employee salary plus service charge 10%. as per per clarification by department via M.F.Dr. letter F.No. B 1/6/2005-TRU dated 27.07.2005

We are a Private limited Company… I would like to know if security guards are provided by proprietor and he charges as per their shifts and adds service charges. He charges service tax pre 31/03/2015. I would like to know whether this service is taxable as manpower supply service or security services under reverse charge mechanism.
It is manpower supply service and covered under full reverse charge from 1st April, 2015. If proprietor is providing service to pvt ltd, full reverse charge will be applicable and he is not required to charge service tax in bill. You are required to pay service tax directly to government under RCM.
we r registered in Manpower agency, we r also availing security service, but not registered in the service (security), should we also register in this service to remit to the department or can we remit in manpower.
You have to amend the service tax registration form. Because both service has different codes under service tax.

Respected madam,
Can a “Supply of manpower ” Company registered as “Private Ltd” ? If such a company is registered as PVT LTD, did the company get exemption from service tax?
otherwise which is the best catagory to register a ” Supply of Manpower ” company ???

Respected mam,
In 1st case
what happens if I am contractor and charged Services tax on bill 3.09 % to companies.
and not flied Services tax return ?
In 2nd case
Q.1 How would i know,whether company paid remaining services tax (i.e. 9.27%) or not ?
Q.2 What is consequence occurred on contractor if not paid by company.?
whether contractor has to pay remaining part of Services tax (i.e 9.27% )?
Replay on my ID I.e. amitkhanka.za@gamil.com
Why are you not filling return? You need to file return and paid service tax collected to government department. It is not your duty to cross check whether company has paid service tax or not.

Ours is a manufacturing company. We have given contract to security agency. Some securities are placed near factory gate.. Some securities are there in the company guest house. In the bill ,the contractor mentions Security charge for plant – 1000, Guest house securiry – 700 Tax 14% on 1700 ie 238 Total 1938. Can I take credit of full 238 or I am not allowed to take credit of ST on Guest house securiry part?. Please help
As per my understanding , security service for factory gate is allowed while security service for company guest house is not allowed as it is not used in relation to manufacture of final product.
Dear Madam
Thanks for this useful blog. Is there any Govt document which says Placent agency has to charge full service tax @14% and no RCM is applicable ?
As we raised a bill to one Pvt Ltd company and they say show us the govt document which says RCM is not applicable to Placement agency.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Rupak
RCM is applicable to placement agency too. I have amended the article.
I am also still waiting for the reply
madam plz tell me if service provider income is less then 10 lakh and he will not charge the service tax in this case any liability of service tax is by service receiver.
If Reverse charge mechanism is applied, service receiver is liable to pay 100% service tax to government. Read my post, https://taxmasala.in/reverse-charge-mechanism/

Dear Sir / Mam,
Ours is a Public Limited Company and we receive security services from a firm. Whether we have to pay service tax if the service provider has total income less than Rs.10 lakhs?
Yes, if corporate is getting service from non corporate, RCM will be applicable. Turnover of service provider should not be considered.
Dear mam,
I am having a Proprietor ship firm of security and detective services, presently I am providing security Service, my turnover is 3.5 lakh per annum.
I have charge service tax to service receiver in the bill @ 3.09% till Oct 2014 from Nov 2015 I have didn’t charge the service tax to service receiver.
But my service tax superintendent is asking why you are not charging service tax in the bill and not depositing to the govt, and asking me to show the govt letter on this.
Requesting u that kindly help me in this, I am in a problem.
Once you opted for charging service tax on bill ( Without opting for small service provider exemption), you cant stop charging during middle of the year. However, you should not charge when RCM is applicable. You have not cleared about service receiver status ( Corporate or non corporate). If service receiver is company, RCM will be applicable for security service. Otherwise, you need to charge service tax on bill.

Madam Good Evening,
I have a query matter related to Service Tax applicable on Receiving of Man Power Services (Data Entry Operator) by the Government department from a Private Firm. Kindly suggest whether we are liable to pay the Tax to the Service provider or not?
Details:
1) State Govt. district office (Receiver of Manpower Service by Annual Contract)
2) Pvt Firm (Service Provider of 15 Manpower as Data Entry Operator)
3) Annual Billing Amount= Rs.14,40,000/- (includes of Remuneration, EPF, ESI, Service Charge-1Rs.) (No Tax amount claimed till date)
4) Now the firm claiming the Service Tax of 14.5% on the Tot. Monthly bills (1,20,000/-)
If receiver is body corporate, RCM will be applicable. Government district office is not body corporate so not applicable. ( confirm with service receiver).
For deciding Service tax rate, read my post- https://taxmasala.in/point-of-taxation-rules-2011/
Thanks Madam

For Security services in the case where service provider is Pvt. Ltd. Company, and Service Receiver is registered society recognised as charitable under section 12 AA and running a Charitable Medical Centre, what will be the status of Service Tax? If it is not covered by the RCM, does it mean that there is no Service Tax implication?
Sir,
In your case, RCM will not be applicable and service is not exempt as per my view. It is taxable under forward charge.
we are private security agency. we provide security to geological serve of india,they said they not RCM.the service tax is 100% by service reciever.so who is the responcible to pay service tax?????? pls tell us.
RCM is applicable when individual provides service to LTD. If RCM is not applicable, service tax is required to charge in forward taxation in bill. Service tax should be collected by service provider and deposited to government.
can u provide any case laws regarding man power supply to government agencies
Sir,
You need to research on google for it.
