Subcontractor XYZ Ltd exempt from service tax for government road project under Notification No. 25/2012-ST. A query was raised regarding the applicability of service tax on a subcontractor, XYZ Ltd, providing services to ABC Ltd for a government road contract in Kolkata. The question was whether the service tax is exempt for ABC Ltd due to the nature of the government work contract. Two responses clarified that, according to Notification No. 25/2012-ST, services related to road construction for public use are exempt from service tax, whether executed by the main contractor or a subcontractor. Therefore, there is no requirement for XYZ Ltd to charge service tax in this scenario. (AI Summary)
