Construction Firm Must Pay Service Tax on Manpower Services Despite Output Service Exemption; Reverse Charge Applies. A company providing construction services to a railway entity is exempt from service tax. However, it receives manpower services with service tax charged. The company queries if it should pay service tax on these manpower services since it does not pay output service tax. Experts clarify that exemption of output services does not automatically exempt input services.
