Yes You are very much liable to collect and pay service tax if your threshold limit exceed Rs.10 Lacs. you can opt for composition scheme too in service tax. depending on tyoe of your contract, service tax rate will be as follows: 40% taxable i.e 40*12.36%= 4.944% 30% taxable i.e 30*12.36%= 3.708% 60% taxable i.e 60*12.36%= 7.416%
