07 February 2008 If the subcontractor is a service provider within the ambit of services notified, there is no way he can avoid rasing the bill with service tax.

07 February 2008 The master circular clearly identifies the sub contractor as a service provider, we do not forsee any remedy in the said inquiry

05 April 2012 You have to pay service tax. There is no option available.
