based on your clarification Company A will be liable for service tax under head business auxiliary service as clarification of 1/3/05 given below will not apply to you as you are performing the job in the premises of mnaufacturer and you are not sending the goods which is provided in the clarification With effect from 01-03-2005 - Exemption has been provided from service tax on business auxiliary service, to a person producing goods, from the inputs received from a manufacturer and sending the resultant product to the same manufacturer for further manufacture of final products, which are cleared on payment of excise duty. The above change will come into effect immediately charge service tax @10.30% on B under head business auxiliary service.

Regarding, classification of the service under the category of Manpower recruitment and supply service, be careful, since 2005, even supply of manpower is included within its scope. However, if the terms and nature of agreement is describing the activity in some other manner, i agree with Mr. Madhawan that it is to examined carefully further.
