If jobwork tentamounts to manufacture then there would not be any tax otherwise Service Tax will be applicable.

[MANDAVILLI RAMAKRISHNA]

if the job work is part and parcel of manufacture, no service tax.

 

otherwise, job work charges are taxable to service tax as repairs and maintenance/ erection/

as labour contract charges.

AI Summary

Service tax on job work applies unless job work amounts to manufacture, in which case it is non-taxable. Whether job work attracts service tax depends on its character: if the job work is integral to or tantamounts to manufacture of excisable goods, it is not subject to service tax. If not part of manufacture, job work charges are taxable as services such as repairs and maintenance, erection services, or labour contract charges.
