Service tax shall be levied on the job work done by you. Reason: As per serial no.30(a) of Mega exemption notification 25/2012 dated 20.06.2012 job work in relation to agriculture is exempted. And the defination of agriculture as per Section65B clause (3) is AGRICULTURE means the cultivation of plants and rearing of all life -form of animals. Therefore processing of mangoes to get mango pulp cannot be said to related to job work of agriculture. Therefore service tax shall be levied on same.
