15 Crs is the value of works contract for the purpose of VAT as also for Service Tax ( if the Service tax is being liquidated under the Composition Scheme)
There are two ways in which the service tax liability is discharged as far as Works Contracts Services are concerned (a) NOn-composition and (b) Composition.
As far as non composition method is concerend, the free issue material is out of the taxable value.
As far as the composition method is concerend, consequent to the notification No. 23/2009-ST, dated July 7, 2009, the gross value includes the free issue material.
