We are engaged in plantation activity in government leased land for plantation of pulp wood required for our factory situated within radius of 70 km from plantation area.
we are engaging local contractors for harvesting, staking and transportation of wood from our captive plantation. We are of the opinian that the subject activity of harvesting and transportation of our captive wood does not attract service tax on the grounds that as the product in agriculture produce and is of our produce.
Any supporting casss to support our view and/or my view are not acceptable by service tax authority. Please through some light on this issue.
