31 August 2011 1. yes he is under service tax
2. providing service to govt organization is not exempted under service tax unless the service receipt claim it with any notification issued in favor of the govt department, specifying the nature of exempted services to be availed.
3. main contractor as well as sub contractor all are liable to service tax with input credit facility on sub contract.
4. the actual service provider is liable to pay service tax in all cases,
5. as the service is not exempted, normal ST-3 will be filed.
for exempted services there is spefic rule to be mentioned, and then amount should be put in "exempted"
