Service Tax Now Applicable for CPWD Electrical Contractors Post-Amendment of Notification No. 25/2012-ST, Effective April 1, 2015 A CPWD Electrical Contractor inquired about the applicability of service tax exemptions for government work, specifically after the amendments in the latest service tax rules effective from April 1, 2015. The contractor, who performs electrical installation and maintenance for government projects, sought clarification on whether they need to pay service tax.
