Dear All,

I would be obliged if you solve the following queries of mine regarding Service Tax.

1. Whether an interior decorator and furniture contractor doing furniture and fixture work such as wooden partition, ceiling, window, door, paneling, kitchen units and fixed cupboards is entitled for abatement under construction services.

2. Whether POP contractor and painting contractor will be entitled for abatement if POP & painting work is carried out after carrying out interior work and after taking possession from builder. If answer is yes then how to prove that it was not a competion and finishing services.

3. What remedy service provider has when he has availed abatment and filed returns for which he was not entitled to to avoid penal action.

Please clarify my doubts.

If we provide a service as a sub-contractor, does the service attract service tax??

Note that the final place of consumption of the service is overseas.

The company sub-contracting the work is an Indian company, and we are billing the Indian company in foreign currency.

The industry we are in is IT services
