Under the taxation based on negative list, en carried forward. Therefore the sub-contractor providing works contract service to the contractor who is providing exempt works contract services, would also be exempt from service tax, but services provided by architect, engineer or persons providing services other than works contract service to the contractor providing exempt works contract service, would not be exempt from service tax.
