In works contract service 50% service tax will be paid by the contractor and 50% by the contractee. In works contract service there are two schemes one is composite scheme and other is paying on actual labour and services.
The question is in a single works contract if the contractee and contractor choose different schemes for payment of service tax then how the ratio of 50% will be determined, will the contract be divided in two parts or any other criteria will be adopted? Some more clarifications are required in this regard from CBEC.

Dear Sir, If I am a work contractors (Turnkey Contractors) & I am in under composit Scheme & my service tax is 4.94% i.e. 40% on 12.36. So how much I have to & how much to service receiption is it 50% 50%. please reply.
In works contract, the best way to determine the liability of the recepient would be to pay 50% on that amount on which the service provider has paid. After all he has to determine his liability first. We follow next. It would be difficult to determine his liability. So whether it be composite or otherwise, we pay exactly the amount of service tax what he pays.
if any civil contractor provide service to education institute, then there is an exemption for service tax liability, and he should be quoted it on its invoice, can u provide me sample invoice formats
Dear Amit,
50% amount paid by the service receiver shall be the out of the amount charged in the Invoice by the service provider. The question is if service provider does not charge anything, then what. Lets say he is unregistered although his liability towards service tax registration has arose
Sir, Please clarify, in case of transport services, the service receiver is made liable for 100% service tax payable. Can we collect the service tax from the transporter (service provider) and remit to the govt or should the service receiver pay from his side/pocket? Please clarify.
