Service tax

Sir, I am giving contract for renovation of my house to building contractor and he is asking me to pay extra amount o/c services tax @ 15% on the whole amount of the contracted amount. The work is replacement of water pipes and electrical wires re-plastering of walls and painting and tile work. I presume he should charge on the 25% contracted amount. Please help/advise me.

"services tax @ 15% on the whole amount of the contracted amount.."         NO

Service tax on works contract over only labour bill would be 15%. Otherwise its on 70% of contract value for repairs/renovation work (i.e 10.5% of total value).

In such case its always economical to bifurcate the bills of materials and labour charges.

Agree with Sir
