We are doing wooden crate manufacturing, we have pay Excise Duty on final product. If we given the production on contract for unit basis, Is Service Tax applicable for that. If we paying as labour charges service tax is applicable or not?

24 March 2009 The notification exempting Job Workers is applicable if the final product is cleared on payment of duty.

As such, if SSI exemption is availed, the said notification is not applicable, in my humble opinion.

How ever, please seek more opinion.
