Dear Sir,
We are the manufacturers of automobile parts. We want to send to our job worker some fabrics for stiching purpose.
His job is only to stich the fabric and return to us.
Our question is whether any any service tax has to be charged in his invoice or not.
Kindly experts clarify our doubt.
Thanks & Regards,
S.Ramakrishnan
Automobile parts manufacturer seeks clarity on service tax for stitching services; experts reference notifications 8/2005-ST and 25/12-ST. A manufacturer of automobile parts inquired about the applicability of service tax on stitching services provided by a job worker. An expert advised reviewing previous discussions and specific notifications, including notification no. 8/2005-ST and serial no. 30 of notification no. 25/12-ST. The expert explained that if Central Excise (CE) duty is exempt, service tax must be paid, as this activity falls outside the 'Negative List.' Another participant agreed, referencing a similar prior discussion. (AI Summary)
