19 December 2007 Hi Shruti,

We go with the wordings as provided in law. Though the service is not provided directly by XYZ, as per the nature the same falls under services.

As a margin of profit is added the same falls under taxation. The tax machinery has been prepared in such a manner that no profit goes untaxed.

In exceptional cases, we may refer any decided case law. Would have to look into for details.
