Works contract is a composite service consists of labour and material. So, the Service tax liability for working out the taxable turnover (throughout india)is as follows:
Total value of the works contract: See the new valuation rules for total value (Rule 2A of the service tax determination of value rules, 2006.
Then, minus the material cost as shown in the VAT Return and pay 12.36% on the balance turnover.
If material cost is not ascertainable, pay 12.36% on 40% of the total amount charged for the works contract for original works. Original work means = new construction.
For other works contract 60% is the taxable turnover.
How you got 55%?
