pls advice

25 July 2025 Hey! For an electrical contractor doing fresh installations like planting wires, cables, and setting up electrical equipment in a building, the service classification under Service Tax would generally be:

* **Works Contract Service** — because it involves both supply of material and labor to complete a project.

Repairs & Maintenance service usually applies when the work is on existing installations, not fresh/new construction or installations.

**So, for your client’s case (fresh electrical installations), you should select "Works Contract Services" while filling ST-1.**

Also, VAT applies on the material portion supplied.

If it’s purely labor (no materials), then it might come under "Repair and Maintenance," but since you said fresh installations, materials are definitely involved.

Hope this clarifies! Want me to help you draft the exact description for ST-1?
