30 June 2013 In my view Reverse Charge Mechanish will not be applicable.

Wait for the views of other experts.

30 June 2013 1)Basically, ‘works contract’ is a composite contract where intention of parties is not to consider supply of material and provision of service as independent contracts.

in my opinion..also reverse charge not applicable in your case

because in your case contract of repairs would not be a works contract.

‘custom of trade’ and ‘substance over form’ are important.

The custom of the trade of repairs has always been to treat the two activities (supply of material and provision of service) as separate contracts. In substance also, these are two independent contracts.

2)However, in case of comprehensive maintenance contracts like AMC, it is a composite contract and intention of parties is not to treat the supply of material and provision of service as two separate contracts. In such cases, it will be a ‘works contract’.and consequently reverse charge applicable.and there fore reverse charge applicable here

Thanks & regards
