Dear friends,

I have a query regarding service can, can anybody reply??

 

We have got painting work done from a contractor in an immovable property, the bill amount is approx. 11 lacs. The contractor has not levied any VAT in the invoice raised on us. Now just want to know do we have any liability to pay service tax under reverse charge under "Works Contract Service".

Yes, 

in case where the service provider is non corporate entity and recipient is corporate entity the reverse charge machanism applicable in case of work contract service

the 50% is of recipient liability and 50% is of the service provider liability.

Thanks

Case 1:

If the painting material(i.e. paints, primer) are made available by the Service receiver, then it shall be considered as pure labour contract. Hence, no Work contract in this case.

Case 2:

If the Service provider brings the painting material of his own & charges consolidated bill for material & labour(though he doesn't charge VAT/CST),then the same shall fall under Works contract and thereby resulting in 50% service tax liability of the sevice receiver.

dear,

my query is regarding payment of service tax ,

50% of service tax borne and paid by service provider and 50 % of service tax borne and paid by receiver , being corporate.

1)Now , the corporate should apply for service tax no. in order to pay the S.tax or can pay directly to govenrment.?

2) Also corporate needs to file ST 3 , as applicable to others?

Yes have to apply for ST No & also need to file ST3 if he wants to take credit of said ST paid.
