I need ur valuable suggestion on a Matter of service tax that in 2008-09 we did a Plantation Job in UP & We asked our client to pay the Service Tax on the said work But They told us that the activity Comes in Commissioning & Installation and they didn't paid the Service Tax. But During Audit The Dept Imposed us a Charge of Non Payment of Service tax & we paid the amount with Interest & when we asked our client to reimburse the same Than they told that You Wrongly Paid the Amount & Go to Appeal, We Will not paid you any amount. Pl suggest.

What is plantation job is not clearly written in the query. Assuming that your client is planting and growing plants on behalf of somebody who owns the land. This is not liable to taxable under any of the categories.
