We are civil contractors and we are registered with Sales Tax under composition scheme and accordingly we are charging 4.12% service tax on the total bill (i.e. 10.3% on 33% of the bill value). We receive bill from labour contractor and he charges service tax 10.3% on the whole bill amount. My question can we take service tax input credit of 10.3% which the labour contractor charges us
