08 October 2012 Dear Experts,

As per the recent amendments of service tax took place on 01.07.2012, i would like to know what is the rate to be charged henceforth for the tax rate of 4.8% for Works contract, because now for the Glazing service it is 60% of 12% i.e.7.2%. We have issued some of the sales invoice at 4.8% now, how to recover the difference amount of 7.2% with 4.8%. We are into Building interior activity. Please refer the SR Notififcation No.160 in which 12% (60% of 12%) to be charged instead of 4.8%. We raised in the old rate, wanted to know how to set up the difference tax rate and if yes, then any provision to get refund for the service tax already paid.

Kindly clarify.
Regards
Vithal
