Please clarify the following: As per clause(ii) of rule 2A of the Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006 the valuation of services in the works contract has given as 40% of the total amount charged which makes the effective Service Tax as 4.8% (40% of 12%). In this scenario can we assume that Works Contract (Composition for payment of Service Tax) Rules, 2007 became obsolete and go on with applying the above clause??
