05 September 2012 Dear Sir please clarify the service tax implication in the situation given under,

Mr.A,Contractor,and Mr.B,contractee, entered in a contract of work for Rs.20,00,000/-. Mr.A gives a sub contract for the same to Mr.C,sub contractor, for Rs.15,00,000/-.and remitted service tax(on 15 lakhs).
clarify that whether Mr.A should have charged ST on the bill given to Mr.B for the full amount(ie 20lakhs) or the balance amount(20lakhs less 15 lakhs)
