I PRESUME YOUR CONTRACT IS THAT YOU PAY YOUR CONTRACTED EMPLOYEES' SALARIES TO THE CONTRACTOR.
IN THAT CASE,THE CHARGEABILITY UNDER SERVICE TAX ACT IS ON THE TAXABLE SERVICES OF THE SERVICE PROVIDER.
SO PL. LET US BE SURE AS TO WHAT CONSTITUTES THE CONTRACTOR'S TAXABLE SERVICES.
SINCE YOU ARE PAYING THE COST OF EMPLOYEES SALARY TO CONTRACTOR, ALONGWITH HIS SERVICE CHARGES , THE TAXABLE SERVICE WOULD CONSITUTE THE TOTAL OF WAGES COST PLUS HIS SERVICE CHARGE.
ACCORDING TO DR. SANJIV AGARWAL'S ASSESSEE'S GUIDE TO SERVICE TAX (2006 EDITION),THE VALUE OF TAXABLE SERVICE IN RESPECT OF A MANPOWER RECRUITMENT OR SUPPLY AGENCY SERVICES--IS THE "GROSS AMOUNT CHARGED BY THE SUPPLY AGENT FROM THE CLIENT IN RELATION TO ....SUPPLY OF MANPOWER IN ANY MANNER"
