Chargiability of service tax - construction service – commercial or industrial service, Service Tax

[Vijay Chitte]

One of our service provider providing service in the catergory of construction service – commercial or industrial service to us, in our case, we have contract that all the material (i.e. cement, still etc.) will be supply by our company. Question is: Can service provider charge the service tax (33% on gross amount) on services and material also, if materials supplied by the clients? Or Service tax charge only on construction services? Any one can provide me any case law?

dear friend in your case you can handle it by two ways 1. charge 12.5 % wct on whole amount 2. charge Vat on material and service tax on construction service.
