a. Is it a Works Contract ?
b. What should be % age of Service tax we should charge ( on 50% or 100% ? )

01 October 2012 A works contract is one which involves transfer of material as well as rendering of service.

If either of the components is missing, then the contract is NOT a works contract.

In your query since you are doing a PURE SERVICE work, reverse charge is NOT applicable.

However, service tax is applicable. The liability is on the service provider.

There is NO liability on the service recipient.
