23 February 2011 Dear sir/s,

We are dealing in aluminium fabrication work and getting work contract from our clients for the project like commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, hotels etc.. In India we got the information that some fabricators are doing this activity under service tax and some are under excise.

As specially we are getting the contract for Aluminium Doors, Windows, Partitions, Glazing, Cladding etc. and working as per the client's requirement and specifications. We make the particulars some times at party's site and some times under our premises.

For this kind of projects 1st we get the work order from the party and then as per their requirement and specs. we procure the material and than do cut the aluminium sections. Then after we assamble the material. To assamble we required the materials like Aluminium Sections, Glass and hardware materials. And for all these we give the job work to labour contractor.

Now our question is that is this activity under service tax or excise?

Thanking you and waiting for your reply and very oblidge for the same.

24 February 2011 It should come under service tax, since you are not manufacturing (check the definition of manfacturing under central excise act)

25 February 2011 you are covered under service providers as you do not independently manufacture the Aluminium Doors, Windows, Partitions, Glazing, Cladding etc and you are getting contract for the fabrication of the same. still for more query contact tkg1968@rediffmail.com
