Sir
We are manufacturing co we wish to construct new building so we made an agreement with contractor who will construct the building with material which will be submitted by us. Contractor will raise the bill only for service potion. Now i want to know whether service tax 15% will attract on service portion bill or 15% on 40% i.e. the service portion including the supplied material? I need your suggestion very sincerely.
With thanks & regards
