Dear Sir, My client is rendering services for maintenace of air conditioners. He purchases materials for carrying out his activities . He undertakes composite contracts ie with material. The material as per Profit & Loss Account forms 40% of the total income. He has so far not paid vat on the material content. The Service Tax Authority is charging Service Tax on the gross amount without allowing deduction for material. If deduction is allowable for materials plesae give the relevant section under which deduction for the same is allowable. It is not possible to ascribe material content to every bill. We can do that too . You may consider the said proposal too
