whether value of material supplied to the contractor during a construction contract is to be included in the value of taxable service?

[Gopalarathnam Muralidharan]

Value of free supply of materials are to be included in the value of taxable services

There are various options available if your product is falling within the category of Works Contract (i) to avail the benefit of composition scheme, (ii) to opt for regular valuation scheme. If u opt for composition scheme you need to pay 4% on the total value of contract including the value / cost of the material used into such project. In case u opt for regular valuation method, you can exclude the value of material and goods supplied / used in execution of such contract. Therefore, option is with you which method to be followed.

yes, there is a department notification for that also.

Thanks for the responses. The issue pertains to a period prior to 2007.
