Query about abatement rates
Querist : Anonymous
My client is providing services in the category of "CONSTRUCTION SERVICES IN RESPECT OF COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL
BUILDINGS AND CIVIL STRUCTURES".
For the Month of October, When he raised the invoices to the company for services provided by his firm, Account department of the company reject the invoice asking to my client to charge service tax on 50% amount. They said that on balance 50%, service tax would be paid by service receiver.
Please clear the rate of abatement for the said service as mentioned above.. Whether 75% - 25% or 50% - 50%..?
Please help me... Its urgent..

First of all, you are mixing up two different services-
1. works contract service
2. Construction of complex service
In first type of service, 50% of service tax is paid by the service receiver only if you are a firm(partnership or propritorship)and service receiver is comoany/body corporate.
In second type of service, there is no concept of reverse charge and service receiver is not liable for any service tax directly to the dept.
in this case, you will have to charge service tax on 25% of total amount charged i.e 12.36% of (25% of total amount).
So, accordingly, tell to you client that it is not works contract service and we are liable for full amount of serice tax.
