Erection, Installation & Commissioning
Definitions
"Commissioning and Installation Agency"means any agency providing service in relation to commissioning or installation, [Section 65(29)]
"Erection, Commissioning or Installation" means any service provided by a commissioning and installation agency in relation to erection, commissioning or installation of plant, machinery or equipment, [Section 65 (39a)]
Cir.No. 79/9/2004-ST, Date: 13/5/2004
I am directed to draw attention to the Circular No. 49/11/2002 –S.T., dated 18/12/2002, whereby it is clarified that the work of Erection and Commissioning is in the nature of services provided by a “Consulting Engineer” and hance taxable under Service Tax. Also in the year 2003 dated 20thJune 2003, issued from File No. B-3/7/2003-tru, IT Was clarified that charges for erection of plant would not be covered under the Commissioning and Installation services.
In the light of above conflicting views, several representation have been received in the Board for clarification as to whether
-
the charges for erection would be covered under Services Tax or not?
-
the Commissioning or Installation services would be covered under Service Tax under Consulting Engineer service effective from 7/7/1997?
-
The issue has been examined by the Board in consultation with the Ministryn of Law and Justice and in this regard I am directed to say that charges for erection installation & commissioning are not covered under the category of Consulting Engineer Services. Commissioning or Installation service will be separately taxable under relevant entry and are not chargeable under Consulting Engineer Services. Accordingly, the clarification issued vide the Circular No. 49/11/2002-S.T. dated 18/12/2002 stands modified to this extent.

The concept behind service tax is to levy service tax on each and every service until it is specifically exempted explained in the Act itself or by certain notifications if it is deemed necessary according to the changed circumstances.
