Service tax on subcontractor: subcontractor services are exempt when the main contractor's works-contract services are exempt.
Taxability of a sub-contractor's works-contract services follows the tax status of the main contractor: if the main contractor's works-contract services are exempt (including certain infrastructure works), then the sub-contractor's services provided to that contractor are also exempt under the Notification-based rule. (AI Summary)
