We take contract work from railways which involves changing rails, sleepers e.t.c. and do not involve any purchase/sale of material.
We heard that under works contract, and service provided to railway, it is exempted under the service tax.
I want to know the exact section under which it is mentioned, it would be very kind of you if you can send me the website link of the same in the central excise website.

Dear All,

What are the taxes and duties applicable on RMC (Ready Mix Concrete?

Present our RMC supplier charging state VAT in his bill. We asked him to install plant at our construction site and then we will buy and supply all material needed for concrete mix to him and we will pay service charges to him along with service tax applicable.

My question is my approach is correct? As State VAT exemption is there for our plant, no input tax for us. In this situation how can we avoid state sales tax? Can we go for service contract with him?

Please give your valuable suggestion?

Thanking you,
Swamy.K

I had a query If a Foreign Company recieves a contract of Overhauling of machinery from Indian Company( Say A ) and the the Foreign Company outsource that contract to the another Indian Company ( say B ). My query is that when the Indian Company ( B ) will raise the invoice to Foreign Company, Will it be treated as Export of Service and accordingly whether we need to charge the service tax.

I would like to know whether this exemption is available every year. or having paid the tax in a year, has one to continue paying service tax next year even when the turnover does not exceed Rs.10 lakhs

a company, service provider, can take cenvat credit in service tax from fixed asset bill like software, computer equipments etc..
