Amendments to Notification No. 8/2005-Service Tax: Job Workers Must Pay Service Tax if Process Isn't Manufacturing A query was raised regarding amendments to Notification No. 8/2005-Service Tax and whether new notifications exist for exemptions when goods are produced using client-supplied raw materials and returned to the client. One response referred to Notification No. 19/2005-ST, while another clarified that no new notifications or circulars exist for such exemptions, except for those related to alcoholic beverages. It was noted that if the job worker's process does not amount to manufacturing and the final product is duty-exempt, the job worker must pay service tax under Business Auxiliary Services (BAS).
