Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am facing a query for which i have not been able to get a clear answer.
My Query is that in case of contractors engaged in construction of residential/ commercial complex, who are providing only labour i.e where they have entered into a contractor with the builder for construction and the material is supplied by the builder,(for civil construction, flooring, electrical and finishing services) whether such contractors can get their registration changed form the head Construction of residential/commercial complex and get themselves registered under works contract to take the benefit of concessional rate of service tax. Also would it be advisable for them to do so?

I would be waiting for your response.
Thank you,
Yours truly,
Ruchi Jain.

In case of import of services where the responsibility of payment of service tax to the revenue department is of the service receiver whether TDS be deducted on amount after adding service tax amount to the bill amount or the amount billed ? In this case service provider has not included the service tax amount in the bill and CBDT circular talks about "Gross amount of bill".
