26 March 2016 Hello,

A Manufacturing concern whose final product is excisable receiving Manpower service.

1) IS THE MANUFACTURING CONCERN NEEDS TO PAY SERVICE TAX ON REVERSE CHARGE?
2) OR NOT PAY BY CLAIMING JOB WORK SERVICE OF MEGA EXEMPTION AS FINAL PRODUCT IS EXCISABLE?

Please answer ASAP. with supporting Case laws.

Thanks a lot.
