The working shown above can be taken for service tax purpose.
The new provision for calculation of service tax for works contract is:
1) Material cost shown in the VAT return can be claimed for deduction.
2) Therefore, from the total cost minus material cost is the taxable turnover under service tax act. If material cost could not be separately shown, then 40% of the total value should be taken for paying service tax.
Moreover under reverse charge mechanism, 50% of the service tax is to be paid by service provider and 50% by service receiver. So, kindly calculate your service tax liability as per law.
