We had received work order (civil work) worth 60 lacs. Under T&C party will pay Service Tax. Against the goods at site the party had given us advance of Rs. 7,10,505.00 after deduction of 3% WCT and 2.266% TDS.

Now my question is:
Party is not paying Service Tax at the time of issuing us Advance. Party says this is advance and not payment against any bill. Service Tax wiil be paid un release of payment against any bill.

Do I have to pay Service Tax upon receipt of advance. If yes then at what rate?.
