Hello sir,
Please clarify that in a work contract in which composition sceme has been aviailed by the contractor(i.e who will construct the building for us)charges service tax from us on the material for which he is completely reimbused by us (i.e RMC,ready mix concrete) which he purchases from different parties himself. So can i argue that he can not charge the service tax from us on the material which we are reimburing for it i.e THAT RMC he addad in his bill on the cost and for service tax purpose he includes that amount also,according to me the notification comes into effect from 07.07.2010 says to include material which is provided otherwise also but not applicable for the contract which has been started before 07.07.2010 so can i argue that he can not charge the service tax for the material for which he got reimbursed. plz ans asap

Mr.A started his business 01/04/2010(Advertising Agency(Sub)
Sales Bill Amount Rs. 10,000 + 103 (Rs.10,000 x 10% Commission) = Rs10,103.00
Client Bill Amount Rs. 10,103.00 & Mr.A send this Advertisement Newspaper, Press Bill Amount Rs. 9,000.00 Mr.A income only Rs. 1000 & collect service Tax Rs. 103 to his client.
(1000 x 10.30% service Tax = Rs. 103)
This is Correct Method. Mr. A only received Commission Rs. 1000 through Press.

Mr. A claim CENVAT. Mr.A send advertise to Mr.B(Sub-Agency) Mr.B Sales Bill Rs.9000+Rs.93 = Rs.9093 so, Service tax paid Rs.103-Rs.93 = Rs.10

so, Mr.A claim Rs.93 as a CENVAT, If you no Please guide me
