Dear Sir

u need to bifurcate between the total contract price between value of material and labour charges. Service tax is to be paid only on labour charge and material supplied shall attract VAT liability. If after making the above adjustments if any duty liabilty arises u need to make the balance payments.Cenvat credit only for input service and not for input goods.

OR

In case value of material and labour cannot be bifurcated tax shallbe paid @ 4% percent. No cenvat credit available.
