Quantum of duty on goods, Central Excise

[THYAGARAJAN KALYANASUNDARAM]

“A”, a manufacturer and a registered assessee under central excise, provides the manufactured good to “B” along with erection and commissioning of the said good. B issues a Purchase order as composite contract i.e. supply as well as erection to A for this. Now, A is not able to bifurcate the Value provided in the purchase order toward goods and services, where value of service and goods cannot be independently identified .How valuation should be done in this case to pay excise duty and service tax?

Dear THYAGARAJAN KALYANASUNDARAM

Under Rule 2A, it can be vivisected or you have to option to pay the service tax @ 14% on the 40% of the Gross Value of such agreement/Contract/MOUs under Works Contract Services.

I agree with Yayay and sun. This is original work and therefore 40% of the value of contact is a taxable service and service tax to be paid@14%. Care should be taken whether the provider of service is individual, HUF, Firm, AOP, BOI then reverse charge will be applicable.
