It appears that the supervising the construction activity as an expert in Civil activity would attract Service Tax under Consulting Engineer Service only.

Sir
you are right ,
but in general supervision charges or consultancy are fixed remuneration and not in % based , it is my view, not necessary you may agree, as on the basis of remuneration, it appears it should be considered undere business auxiliary .
it was held during audit with other assess in the field of Consutruction activity

first, check out the agreement. from your query it appears that this case is covered under sub- contracting. check it out what is the mode of payment, if whole payment of project is paid by B to C and B recovers from you in addition to 10% commission. then it is civil construction/works contract. if you make payment directly to C, then it is contact between you and C and B gets only consultancy charges. then these are two different transactions. analyze these things and then revert to me at tkg1968@rediffmail.com.
