dear all

i have query regarding service tax on manpower supply

i have received manpower supply from mr. x and he charged rs. 20/- for each manpower supply by him. his invoice shows
total labour for month 1000X Rs.200= 200000
supply charges charges 1000XRs20. = 20000
service tax on 220000/-@12.36% = 27192
total bill amount rs. 247192

than at what amount i have to pay service tax on manpower supply being a receiver of service.

whether it is cascading or not

Dear Mr. Pawan,

The service tax on bill wil be 25% of 12.36% and not total, balance service tax i.e 25% you will have to pay to govt directly.

Mr. Pavan,
The reverse charge applies where if supply of manpower of manpower temporarily or otherwise to other person to work under his superintendence or control. Accordingly, all type of cases whether supplied for casual work or cleaning work or security work, etc will cover under the definition and service reciever will be liable for the dischargement of 75% liability.

Accordingly, you will have to look at the facts.

If your bill is a composite bill it means it is labour work/job work and not manpower service.

yes it is labour contractor
in that case i have to pay service tax on
rs. 247192 X 75% X 12.36%

or Rs. 20000 X 75% X 12.36%

second thing the contractor also charges the service tax on it bill.
