28 April 2016 I am currently providing electrical contractor and maintenance services to PWD, MP however department is not paying me any service tax. They are saying that the services provided to the state govt is exempted under finance act whereas as per my CA service tax has to paid on the amount received in bank.
Please suggest me whether am I liable to pay service tax or the services provided to state govt is exempt. Even If I am liable to pay service tax on the receipts then how can I get this service tax from the PWD as the service tax is Indirect Tax.

28 April 2016 You are liable to pay service tax on the services provided to Govt. It is not exempted. Claim the service tax in the bill itself they have to pay.
