In this case a contractor is providing consultancy service to a government authority who provide output service which is exempt as not no.25/2012

Now contractor demanding service tax from government authority in his bill but government authority deny to pay service tax amount to contractor on the basis that they provide exempt service

06 May 2015 See 29 (h) of Notification 25/2012.
(h) sub-contractor providing services by way of works contract to another contractor providing works contract services which are exempt.
Here it is consultancy work not works contract.
