WE ARE MANUFACTURER. THE BUILDING MATERIALS SUPPLIER IS SUPPLYING STONE, IRON, BRICKS THROUGH TRUCKS AND ALSO CHARGING UP VAT @5% IN THEIR BILLS.

THE QUESTION IS RISEN, ARE WE LIABLE TO DEPOSIT SERVICE TAX ON THEIR BILLS.

PLEASE CLEARFY.

THANKS

19 February 2013 Not liable to pay Service tax, since the purchase of materials does not amounts to works contract.
