28 August 2008 We are rendering Man power supply services to client. Our client engages that persons to government school projects for taking class.

Now we charge service tax @ 12.36% on the gross bill value to our client.

We entered contract only with our client.

Agreement details between client and government not with us.

End user of the above service lies with government.

we seek opinion regarding the above service exempt from service tax.

Kindly reply at the earliest please.
