Service Tax on Works Contract - Post Negative List Regime


The Service Tax liability on Works Contract after July 1, 2012 is summarised as follows:

Value of Works contract for Service tax       = Gross amount received – Value of goods
     transferred in the execution of works contract

Condition
Value of Service Tax
Remarks
If Registered under VAT &  returns filed
·         Value of Service =  Gross amount received – Amount for which VAT is paid (amount declared in VAT return as turnover)
Easy way
Otherwise


a)      if value of materials & Value of service is separately identifiable
·         Value of Services = Labour charges + paid to sub-contractor for labour + charges for planning/ designing / architect fee + machinery /equipment hire + Cost of consumables (water, electricity, fuel etc) + Proportionate establishment expenses relating to service + proportionate profit relating to service
It is difficult to arrive at this value
b)      If value of materials are NOT separately known
·         In case of ORIGINAL WORKS* Value of Service = 40% of the Gross Amount received

·         In case of Repairs of any goods (movable) Value of Service = 70% of the Gross Amount received

·         In any other case Value of Service = 60% of the Gross Amount received


In any case, CENVAT Credit cannot be taken.
