04 August 2013We are doing job work of printing on raw materials provided to us by a company. Ours is a partnership firm. They provide us raw materials and we do the intermediate jobs and provide them finished goods. We are doing this from April 2012 and charging them service tax at 12.36% on gross value.
Now they are saying that according to NOTIFICATION NO. 30/2012 they are not entitled to pay any ST at all or in a proportion of 60-40. We fail to understand this. Kindly guide us.

Dear Kunal Mittal,
your client is partially right.
As the service provided by you constitutes WORKS CONTRACT service.
And, as per Notification No. 30/2012, you are required to charge/collect and pay @ 50% of Service Tax Liability and your client is required to pay remaining 50%.
And, remember service tax is charged only on the Service Portion of the Gross Amount, not on the materials supplied.
Conditions:-
1. service receiver must be a Company.
2. 50% service tax is payable by service provider and 50% by service receiver. The service receiver liable for 50% even if service provider does not charge service tax.
Thanks and regards,

Dear Kunal,
There is no upper limit for such exemption.
That service has been specifically exempted under Notif. No. 25/2012 without any condition.

Dear Kunal,
To avoid any dispute from the department regarding the end use, please take a declaration from your principal stating that the raw material so involved are used by them in relation to goods on which appropriate duty is payable by them.
Also, please be sure that your activity does not involve any transfer of property in goods as sale of goods where it is leviable to VAT or CST otherwise your activity will be covered under Not.No.30/2012 for paying service Tax under Reverse charge Mechanism under Works Contract Service in the Ration of 50:50 .
If it is purely job work, Not. No.25/2012 will apply and full service Tax will be exempt.

Sir: i'm still confused on this one. Does my principal's using the credit of Excise duty on purchase of said raw material does have any bearing on my levying service tax on job work. Also we are in a excise free zone. Does this have any bearing.
