AI Summary

Service tax on construction water: taxable supply value includes consumable water; recipient may claim input credit if invoiced.
Supply of water for civil construction is taxable as a declared service and the value must include the consumable water component; it is not covered by the mega exemption so service tax is chargeable. For construction-for-sale contracts a statutory abatement may apply if conditions including no prior CENVAT credit on inputs and inclusion of land value in charges are met. Reverse charge applies only if the supplier is in a non-taxable territory and the recipient in a taxable territory. If the supplier's bill bears service tax, the recipient may pay and take CENVAT credit, while challenges to the levy are matters for the supplier.
