The company is charging Service tax @ 10.3%. Is there an option for the company to opt for compounding or abatement scheme.

The company is charging service tax under the category of "supply of tangible goods for use". There is no compound/abetment scheme under this category.
In my view, diesel & electricity charges can be claimed as exempt under pure agent basis. Needs through examination of the contract.
