Hi all

this is the case
we are civil contractors
we raised an invoice of  Rs. 10 lakhs to our customer
but the customer has paid only  Rs. 9 lakhs and for the remaining one lakh he sends a debit note showing is as liquidated damages.

my questions is whether we have to pay service tax on liquidated damages are not.
