M/S Y & Co providing services of Hiring of Equipment to X & Co and charging Service Tax under the category (Supply of Tangible goods use services" . In the Contract it is clarly mention that Service Tax will be paid only production of prrof of payment of service Tax Challan. No Cenvat crdit will not be availed by contract as because princpal will pay only challan amount.

Y & Company again subcontrcat some portion of services to Z & Coompany.

My Question is :
Will Z & Company will charge service Tax to Z & Co.

If yes, Then it will be double taxation as M/S Y & Co. made the entire service tax amount to the dpartment for claiming remibursemet from princpal.

Please suggest us and provide us necessary circular

I was wondering if our business of exhibition stall fabrication (where in we supply platform, walls, carpet, display podiums, furniture, lights, etc. on hire) would fall under "business exhibition service" or "pandal/shamiana service"

Business exhibition service refers to only the services provided by organizers. We are not organizers of the exhibition. We are contractors who help fabricate and decorate the space in an exhibition. Wondering which category we fall under ???

Any help is highly appreciated
