If the services are provided to SEZ whether credit of input services used in providing such services can be taken or not?,
pls reply asap

My client is providing construction activities to company registered & situated in madyapradesh. The client is charging service tax at 4% plus education cess on gross amount ( material plus service). But the company deducts 2% works contract tax plus education cess on payment made to my client. They refused to pay service tax.They argued that service tax is not chargeable on bill amount. My questions are as follow :
1 wct and service tax, both are applicable on bill amount or not ?
2Whether my client is entitled to take credit of works contract tax deducted by company in any act or not ? ( for example : vat, service tax or wct act )
3If service tax and wct, both applicable on bill amount, then my client is req to revise bill and charge both service tax and wct on basic amount of bill or not ?

4 It is not possible for my client to separately identify the amount of service and materials in gross amount charged in bill.

Please immediately reply as early as possible.

Thanks,

We are getting transpoter's bills with and with out service tax amount.

We understand that the receipent of the services is liable to pay the service tax at the rate amount as prescribed in the act.

pleae let us know whether we can take the credit / set off the amount charged as service tax by the transporter or we have to pay twice e.g. once to the transporter and secondly to the authorities or can we deduct the amount of service tax charged from the bill and deposit the same.

thanks
