Hello, A bill for Works contract was raised inclusive of Service tax.Only 90% of bill value has been paid by the client,thereby keeping 10% as retention money.Now the doubt is on what amount do we have to deposit Service tax ie: 90% or the 100%.will the service tax on retention amount be paid when we receive the amount.plz do inform if there is any circular or notification or any case law for this.

Hi Mr. Tejesh,

You have to Deposit service tax should be 100% if invoice value is 100% billing .

service tax is based on type services.

Pl inform client to pay service tax on full and let him avail input credit.

Or else bill only 90% charge accordingly --Retention amount bill after certain period

10% Retention amount is related to Basic amount. It has nothing to do with taxes. Even if the service is non taxable then also receiver may retain the 10% amount according to the PO clause. Hence both issues should be treated as different. Tax should be paid totally.

It will depend on whether the service provider and service receiver are individual/HUF/Firm or Company, etc. It service provider is individual/HUF/Firm and service receiver is company, then in that case it is the liability of both service provider and service receiver to deposit 50% each of servic etax to the CG vide Notification no 30/2012 ST dated 20.06.2012.

In case, you are company service provider then in that case service tax is to be paid on 100% amount.
