Service Tax on Manufactured Job work

Dear Professional Colleagues

IN FINANCE ACT 2009, THERE IS ONE AMENDMENT FOR JOB WORK UNITS TO BRING THEM UNDER SERVICE TAX. MY CLIENT HAS A UNIT IN H.P.WHICH IS EXEMPTED FROM EXCISED.  HE IS DOING JOB WORK THERE. ALTHOUGH THE GOODS ARE EXCISABLE, SINCE UNIT IS EXEMPT FROM EXCISE HE DOES NOT PAY ANY DUTY ON JOB CHARGES. ALSO HE DOES NOT CHARGE ANY VAT ON JOB CHARGES. PL. ADVICE WHETHER HE IS LIABLE FOR SERVICE TAX UNDER THE NEW AMENDED PROVISIONS.

THANKS & REGARDS
