14 August 2012 Dear Rm.Siva Chockalingam,

There is a valuation rule. Pleas see the Rule 2A of the service tax determination value rules, 2006. It is linked with local TN-VAT Act for arriving the material cost.

Then go to reverse charge notn:30/2012.

Ans: 1) 12.36% on 40% of the contract value for new construction
2) abatement is 60% for original works, 30% for maintenance and 40% for other works contract.
3) Service provider has to pay 50% tax and service receiver 50% under reverse charge, after availing the abatement.

Kindly go thro the relevant notn for valuation, and liability of the person.
