Sir,

If third party provided the service of installation then he is liable to pay service tax. You are not liable to pay service tax.

[YAGAY AND SUN]

Please check the provision of subcontracting in this matter on VAT and Service Tax. Through the terms used in the contract we understand the sub contract was given to a third party by your company.

The points raised by Yagay and son are to be considered.

Sir,

I know sir, service tax Liability is third party But third party is less than 10 lac turnover of service.

In the purchase order mention clearly installation charges inclusive the rate of sale value. means we are service provider for installation.

As per your suggestion we are liable for service tax. I am right sir,

sorry typing mistake,

As per your suggestion the company is not liable for service tax which is service provide.

Third party is liable for service tax.

Sir,

If the invoice issued by the service provider includes the machinery supplied and installed by him, then it will become works contract service and you have to pay 50% of the service tax and the service provider will pay the remaining 50%. As per Sl. No. 9 of Notification No. 30/2012-ST dated 20.6.2012 as amended " in respect of services provided or agreed to be provided in service portion in execution of works contract", 50 % of the service tax is to be paid by the service receiver and remaining 50% is to be paid by the service provider.

In case of works contract service the service tax (determination of value) rule shall also apply.
