04 August 2012 If you are pure labour contractor, you have to pay service tax 12.36%.

If you are a sub-contractor where material and labour is involved, this comes under works contract and for this you need not pay service tax if your main contractor has agreed to pay the service tax, after including the value of the sub-contractor.

Main contractor will pay the service tax 50% the total turnover after availing the abatement.
