28 May 2014 firstly you bifurcate the amount of lease in two parts:
(i) Lease rent for machine
(ii) Charges for Supply of labour

if we consider the Machine is on financial lease then you have to pay service tax on 10% of lease rent. (Abatement under notification 13/2012 dated 17 March, 2013)

Suppose Lease rent is Rs. 10,000 then Service tax will be (10,000 X 10% X 12.36%)Rs.123.60.

Supply of Manpower is covered under reverse charge Mechanism you need to pay service tax on 25% amount of charges.

suppose amount charges is Rs. 10,000 then service tax on supply of man power will be (10,000 x 25% x 12.36%)Rs.309.00.
