my CA says that TAILORING is a manufacturing activity similar to GARMENT manufacturing, hence SERVICE TAX is not applicable. My CA says that all types of manufacturing are governed by laws pertaining to CENTRAL EXCISE.
QUESTION -
What is your viewpoint on my CA's opinion ? Please clarify in detail
My view is based on a Grant Thornton publication. There are alternative views that you are liable to service tax only if your tailoring activity involves designing ie to say that if you are just doing stitching, service tax is not applicable.
Kindly refer to the following links and apply them to the facts of your case:
