the Service tax is required to be charged as there is no exemption.
First ST registration to be obtained if the value taxable service exceeds Rs 10 lakhs, and even the subcontractor has to take the registration if his taxable service exceeds Rs 10 lakhs.
The ST charged by the Subcontractor will be input for the main contractor.
calculation formula as follows
Amount billed to Govt * 12.36% **** (-) St paid to Subcontractor **** Balance tax payable ***
The tax is to be laid in GAR 7 challan
and Half yearly ST-3 return to be filed
