Service tax exemption for government construction services confirmed; VAT applies only if property transfer occurs during the service.
Services by way of construction, erection, commissioning, installation, completion, fitting out, repair, maintenance, renovation or alteration provided to the Government or a governmental authority are exempt from service tax under the mega-exemption framework. VAT becomes applicable only where there is a transfer of property, movable or immovable, occurring in the course of providing the service; without such a transfer, VAT does not apply. (AI Summary)
