MAHESH CHAND GUPTA says : Service Tax on works contract
Dear Mr. Madhukar N Hiregange , Thanks for the reply to my query on caclubindia.com . The audit department of Service Tax wants specific notification/circular/any rule covering exemption of Service tax on Manyawar Shree Kashiram Ji Shahri Gareeb awas yojna circular no. 5376/9-5-08-153lk/08 dated 24.07.08. You may get access to this yojna on internet. Please provide the same for which I shall be highly obliged. Necessary professional fee as per your demands will be paid to you. Please give you mobile no. and email address so that the matter may be resolved at the earliest possible. I am a Chartered Accountant practicing in Ghaziabad. I have a problem on Service Tax. My client got a works contract in November, 2008 under Kashiram Yojna of Uttar Pradesh Government. The houses constructed under Kashiram Yojna were distributed to poor persons without any profit. Uttar Pradesh Government gave First contract for construction of houses to different development authorities of the districts. Then development authority sub – contract the work to different contractors who constructed the houses. It was said by the development authorities that this Yojna is functioning on no profit – no loss basis and is for the benefits of the poor so no Service Tax is payable on these works contract. That’s why my client got no payment for Service Tax from the development authorities and not paid Service Tax on these contracts. Now, audit team from Service Tax Department came to my client and said that you are required to make payment of Service Tax for the payments received from development authorities under Kashiram Avaas Yojna. You are requested to provide remedial information. I shall be highly obliged.

Is it not under a stay from Delhi High Court due to its retrospective applicability which would be impractical and harsh on all !
