02 October 2016 This contract will be treated as works contract and service tax applicable on labour portion. If you are not a company then 50% of applicable service tax payable under RCM by KSEB Ltd. and you have to pay 50% of applicable service tax.

02 October 2016 Dear sir we are providing labour portion only, the materials are provided by the company.. then also it comes under Works Contract?
Distribution of Electricity Comes under Negative List, can these works can be catogarised under such list.?

03 October 2016 As the material is involved in your works it is a works contract who supply the material is irrelevant.
This work will not fall under Negative list category of distribution of elecricity. The distribution services provided by KSEB is only exempted.

03 October 2016 Yes you are right.sir, for the purpose of abatement it has to be included. If labour portion is separately ascertainable then service tax is payable on labour portion only as per valuation Rules.
