12 February 2008 The work carrie dout by your client falls under the category of Commercial or Industrial Construction Services. It is a notified taxable service.

If the total income from the service is below or upto 8 lacs in a financial year your client need not pay service tax.

There is abatement in the services rendered.

You have not stated the amount earned by him and whether this is one time activity or a continuos one.

The gross amount is to be computed including the TDS amount.
