The service provider is a individual and has provided works contract service on which his liability was 50%. However he has paid the 100% services tax and by mistake the receiving company (Ltd. company) has paid him the entire service tax charges. In this case whether cenvat credit is allowed on the 100% amount of tax or 50% only. Further whether 50% liability is still to be paid by the ltd. company or not?
Service receiver is not liable to pay service tax again because it is double taxation and he can avail cenvat credit too. There is one case available in this favor. Please search it.
Dear Madam , please reply on Mr.Mahtab Alam posted on 8th March,2016
Tarannum,Nice post. I have query that as Adsense Publisher, do we need to pay Service tax? As i am blogger, placed ads on my blogs, do i need to pay service tax on earnings ? if yes, how much and how many times a year need to file Service tax return?
If your adsense income is more than Rs. 10 lakhs per annum, service tax will be applicable. You are renting space to google. However, it is export or not is debatable issue to prove that the service is exempt.
You need to get registered with service tax department when your service turnover exceeds Rs. 9 lakhs. Return is to be filed two times a year.
Service tax should be charged to google. But issue is that is google ready to pay service tax to publisher?
Hello Ms. Khatri,
We are a Pvt. Ltd. company currently working as commercial real estate advisors. We are also adding ‘commercial office interior fit out services’ to our portfolio.
Please advise on the following queries for a Turnkey interior job that we are taking up (includes design, architecture, complete furniture, HVAC, plumbing, civil interiors, lighting, electrical, LAN cabling, flooring, false ceiling etc.):
1) what will be the WCT applicable under composite scheme ? Are there any input credits available ? Is it charged on entire project cost ?
2) what will be the service tax percentage applicable ? Is it chargeable on the total contract value ?
3) The contract value will be about INR 4 crores. When the client makes us a payment on ongoing basis as the contract is being executed, what will be the amount of TDS that they (Pvt. Ltd. company) deduct on the payments ? Will the TDS be deducted after setting aside WCT & Service Tax ?
Please advise.
Thank you,
Pankaj
The service tax rate is 14% without abatement and it is (14*40%) = 5.6% with abatement.
It is required to charge on total bill value.
Tds will be 2% on each payment.
The tds amount should be considered on value ( Less service tax).
Remember that you cannot avail cenvat credit while opting for abatement.
plz mention deduction of amount required
In this case can the service receiver can avail input on service tax.
Dear Ms Khatri,
I appreciate the clarity in your knowledge base. Just one clarification.
Assuming the total contract price as 100 involving 70% as cost of supply of equipments from outside state in India and balance 30% as cost of engg design/erection/commissioning,then the taxes payable would be,
100X 40% x14% as service tax and 70x 2% as CST. Am I right? Pl correct me if I am wrong.
Vasu
Tax payable
CST on Rs. 70
Service tax 14% on Rs. 30. ( you cannot use 14*40% as it is for composition scheme.)
Dear Ms Khatri,
Our company is a Pvt Ltd company and sub contractor to another Public Ltd company for “Construction of ware houses for a State Govt Under taking!My question is Service Tax is payable by Main contractor as well as sub-
contractor! In that case Main contractor will get the Input credit of the amount paid by Sub contractor! Also,if main
contractor opted for Composition for Service Tax,then sub-contractor need not pay Service Tax? Please clarify
D S Rao
Hyderabad
In case of new construction, will the contractor have to charge VAT or CST as well as S. Tax or he can opt for composition scheme and only charge S.Tax ?
He can avail composition scheme only for service tax purpose so that he is not required to segregate goods and services portions.
He need to charge vat and cst( If applicable) on good sold for vat purpose as per vat schemes.
Hello
We are Pvt Ltd. company and engaged in the services of transportation. To provide our services we usually get our Vehicles repaired by the contractor. now the question is contractor provides us services of works contract but they are registered under service tax. Now what should we do?
can we calculate our liability as follows:
(Value x 40% x 14 % x 50%)
you need to pay tax at 70% of bill at 14%. ( the abatement applied will be 30%).
In that liability,
50% is required to be charged in bill.
50% is paid by you under RCM.
Suppose service provider is not charging in bill 50% as he avails small service provider exemption.
You need to pay remaining 50% under RCM. ( no matter about service provider’s registration under service tax.)
Thanks a Lot
hello,
I have a small query, I am a contractor, I have done a labor work contract for a builder in Mumbai,
All the materials were supplied by the builder, I have just done the work with my labor.
Mine is a proprietorship co. and the builder is a partnership firm.
Generally we charge 14% S TAX to the builder and we pay the amount,
But now the builder is insisting the I have to charge the amount to him in the bill
but he will not pay me, instead he will only pay up the 100% amount to S.Tax dept.
Plz help.. is this correct.. should i charge him s.tax in the bill and let him pay the entire sum?
When proprietor provides service tax to partnership firm, there is no reverse charge mechanism and you are right in charging 14%.
HI
When i availed abatement in service tax then, i can’t CENVAT Credit taken ?
Yes, when you avail abatement, cenvat credit is not available.
Hi, going through with the answers. It’s very clear. I have one question. I am working in a PSU Bank and looking after Premises Division. We are issuing work contract under tender system to Furnishers, Electrical n AC contractors separately. I want to know whether Bank has to pay only 50 % to contractor n 50 % of the Service tax against the bill to govt in the name of firm or individual or has to pay 100 % of the Service tax to contractor directly.
When individual or firm is providing service to bank, rcm will be applicable. At that case, 50% of service tax on work contractor should be paid to contractor and 50% should be deposited to government under RCM.
We have given contract to vendor whereby the Vendor will bring JCB and level the ground (land owned by our company) for construction of a Storage shed for keeping raw-materials
He brings JCB. That JCB is not owned by that vendor. He takes it on rent from some other person. Brings it to our factory, level the ground. He gives the JCB back to real owner. Our mechanical and civil and project department will overseas his work.
Vendor calculates his charge like this
Opening JCB reading time , CLosing JCB Reading time , No of hours worked * Rate per hour = Bill amount
That vendor has taken the following ST registration
1. Manpower recruitment agency – 00440060
2. Works contract service.- 00440410
3. Constuctions services in respect of commercial or industrial buildings and Civil structures.00440290
Questions
1. Is vendor necessary to take ST registration for Supply of Tangible goods for JCB renting.
2. Is it necessary that JCB should be owned by him only to put it under Supply of tangible goods service.
3. Can this JCB rental treated as part of Construction of civil structure services? (so that he need not take new registration for supply of tangible goods). If not why?
4. If we are treating the above as part of Construction service, can we claim abatement.?(There is no abatement for Supply of tangible goods)
Everywhere I am reading that if there is transfer of property in goods involved in excecution of a contract, it will be called as Works contract.
If there is no material element, it can be treated as construction service.
On reading what is construction service, from the attached file , I am not able to understand which construction service is there with no material element. There is no construction service without material element
Can you please advise me with example the types of construction services which are not work contract service.

Hi,
I have got a work contract for Software Services. Now, I am out sourcing this work to another sub contractor. There are following queries:
1. Should I include Service Tax in the invoice to my Customer?
2. Should Sub contractor also include Service tax in the invoice given to me?
Lets say, I charge INR 1 Lakh to customer + Service Taxes.
Sub contractor is invoicing me for INR 90K _ Service Tax
In this case, if this is true, i will need to increase the billing to customer so that i can afford to pay service tax from my side as well.
In this scenario, service tax will be paid two times for the service executed only once. Could you please let me know the details, as it is important in terms of billing. Its urgent.

Can U pl help me with what the Service Tax liability would be for this works Contract work? I will be filing VAT @ 5% under works contract.
If the total value of consideration is Rs. 50000, you are not liable to charge service tax in bill. ( If total turnover of your work in PY 2015-16 is less than Rs. 10 Lakhs.)However, the company is liable to pay service tax under reverse charge itself. The company will take care of it. You do not need to charge in bill.
