Service tax exemption for road construction: construction of roads for general public use is exempt under the mega exemption notification.
Construction of roads intended for use by the general public is exempt from service tax under the mega exemption notification; therefore service providers need not levy service tax. This exemption applies even where the recipient is not a government body, provided the road is for general public use. (AI Summary)
