I have query about service tax relationg to pure labour contract for contruction, i want to know about tax rate, any abatement if applicable, and reverse charge is applicable to it or not? and in ST-1 under which code in is to be registered?

50% Reverse charge applicable to works contract but i m in a confusion that it is not works contract because it is purely labour work and delivery of any type of material or goods are not involved, in the present case contractor works under builder but only for the labour work and all materials and goods supplied by builder only....? pls help me sir to solve...

Pure labour contracts are not covered under Reverse charge mechanism.As the labour is directly working under the superintendence and control of the contractor it is not a case of supply of manpower,so no reverse charge applicable.
Please consider that it is not a works contract either as there is no transfer in property of any goods in the execution of the contract leviable to vat. Had the contractor applied as a works contractor with a intention to use the material as well the labour for execution of the contract,it would have fallen within the ambit of works contract. Here the contractor is charging pure labour charges,so as per my view neither reverse charge nor any abatement shall apply. Please refer https://taxguru.in/service-tax/note-service-tax-work-contract-service.html

IF SERVCIE PROVIDER IS COMPANY THEN YOU CHARGE FULL SERVICE TAX. AND IF RECEIVER IS COMPANY AND PROVIDER OTHER THAN COMPANY THEN PROVIDER CHARGE THE 25% OF SERVCIE TAX AND 75% WILL BE PAY BY THE SERVICE RECEIPENT.
