Mr X is providing us transportation services & yearly amount is more than Rs 10 Lacs. We are depositing ST under RCM on that service. He is further providing other services for which amount is less than Rs 9 Lacs per year & we are not paying any ST on that other service. Kindly advice whether we can continue the same or we are liable to pay service tax on that other work/service. I mean whether amount of transportation will be considered for exemption or not.Thanx in advance.

FACTS in BRIEF :
XYZ industries is a manufacturing concern engaged in the business of extraction of mustard oil from mustard seeds on its own account. It purchases the m.seed from open markets and local mandi. The purchased goods are unloaded from the goods carries and stocked into proper godowns. Thereafter it gets the seed, so procured, processed through expeller process and extracts refined mustard oil. After that refined oil is packed in various small and big sized packages, containers etc. and finally the packed oil is cleared from the factory under cover of sale invoices without payment of Excise duty under its brand name.
On the basis of above the following is the work flow of the whole manufacturing process:
1. The Raw material (M.seed) are procured and brought through goods carrier upto factory gate.
2. At the factory gate a contractor (named “A”) takes the charge of unloading the seed bags and sacks. The same contractor deploys his labour and proper stocking in initial godown named “G1”
3. From G1, the goods are sent to G2 for properly facilitate the continuous supply of material to manufacturing process. This is also done by contactor “A”.
4. The manufacturing process starts immediately after the goods move from G to the machined conveyor system which automatically takes the chunk of seeds into the expeller machine for the mechanical manufacturing of mustard oil. For all this mechanised process it requires administration of conveyor process, for this purpose company engaged a contractor named “B” who supervise the whole process upto final stage (M.oil)
5. During the manufacturing process, the waste ( Mustard cake) is collected, packed and stocked etc by contractor “A”
6. After the Manufacturing process is completed, the refined M.oil (final product) is stored in tank and thereafter is packed in various packings by contractor name “C”
7. As and when required, C engage his labour and loads the required quantity into goods carriage for clearance from factory gate.
Issues
1. Whether the contractors engaged by company at various level of manufacturing chain are liable to service tax? If yes, whether reverse charge mechanism liability would arise?
2. The above contractor B and C, In which category they fall: Job worker, supplier of man power, work contractor?
3. If the above firm wants to give its raw material ( M.seed) to another manufacturing company/firm (named PQR industries) and take in return finished goods. All labour would be of PQR and XYZ pays him crushing charges. It is all because of heavy demand and shortage in own production. In this case what would be service tax liability on both the companies? Is it treated job work in any cases?
4. What would be the service tax liabilities if XYZ takes PQR on rent( pay only rent as per agreement with TDS compliance).
