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.
