Expert Rupesh Jain. okay. but main contractor is exempt from charging s.tax as work is of govt. still subcontract is required to charge s.tax to main contractor??

The work awarded by Govt. is exempt in the hands of main contractor if falling under the entries of Notification No.25/2012-ST dt.20/06/2012. In such case, if sub-contractor is also classified as works contractor by virtue of this sub-contracted work (i.e, there must be transfer of property and vAT paid), then the sub-contractor will also be exempt as per Entry No.29(h) of the said notification.
