That My client had done fabrication with separate contract for fabrication work as the activity of fabrication covers under Excise but when tanks or pipe supports are fabricated at site though not embedded in the earth, are erected at site, stage by stage, and after completion they cannot be physically moved. But on sale/disposal they have necessarily to be dismantled and sold as metal sheets/scrap. It is not possible to assemble the tank or pipe supports all over again. Such tanks or pipe supports are, therefore, not moveable and cannot be considered as excisable goods. In my client case all the items assembled or erected at site and attached by foundation to earth cannot be dismantled without substantial damage to its components and thus cannot be reassembled, then the items would not be considered as moveable and will, therefore, not be excisable goods. This has been clarified by the department vide circular dated Order No. 58/1/2002-CX, dated 15-1-2002. This satisfies that the activity which My client is doing on site is not excisable. If the said activity is done from the factory and then finished tanks are removed from the factory to site then it becomes excisable as it is movable at the time of removal from factory. Therefore it not wholly exempt from excise activity and it is exempt if it is considered as moveable, although it amounts to manufacture under section 2(f) of the central excise.
1. Now the Question if that Weather the Job work of Fabrication done by client is covered under Business Auxiliary service?

2. Is the Job worker can Claim exemption under Notification No. 8/2005-S.T., dated 1-3-2005 which says that if the finished goods amounts to manufacture under central excise then it is exempt under service tax?
