One of our client received notice from Service Tax Department for the services provided to MES which are fully exempt as per notification no 25/2012. The assessing officer allowing exemption but he is now demanding Contract Copy between me & MES as well as stamp duty paid. I told him about as the MES is government entity, they allot work on the basis of tender published and not forms any kind of contract. As I received the tender, I paid the Security Deposit & not the stamp duty. But, he is not accepting the same.
