The provider has the option to avail an exemption notification as per which service tax can be discharged on 33% of the total value of the contract. However, cenvat credit on inputs and CG or input services or exemption for materials in terms of Notification 12/2003 should not be availed. Further, this exemption notification is not available if the services are only completion and finishing services in relation to residential complex.
