How to pay liability arising for service tax under reverse charge related to works contractor.
What if the works contractor charges full amount of service tax (which he is not required to do so under reverse charge mechanism).
If he charges full amount then we are not liable to pay & thereby get registered.

if contractor mentioned labour and material in same invoice and he has not provide separate invoice for material and labour. whether service tax is to be charged @70% of total amount (other than original work) or only on labour portion.

There is a proprietorship firm provides work of supply and fixing of aluminium partition in a office to a body corporate. contractor raises his bill as

supply and fixing of aluminium partition 35500

My question is
1) whether it comes in work contract service under RCM
contractor is saying that they only charged for material in bill.

My query is whether construction of private roads (new or re carpeting) falls within the category of construction services or works contract services ? Specially when materials are also supplied by us ? ( i.e. the contract for construction of private road is given to us including material and labour). please provide valuable base for the same.
