Dear Sir,

Receipts of Works Contract Service during the year = Rs.30,00,000/-

Which of the following method should be used for calculating service tax liability

1. (30,00,000-10,00,000) x 40% x 12.36% = 98,880/- or

2. [(30,00,000 *40%) - 10,00,000 ] x 12.36% = 24,720/-

Kindly guide in this matter at earliest if this is first year of business.



Thanks.
