• How to calculate Reverse Service Charge

Dear sir, 
i have raised a work contract invoice (under the maintenance including Labour & material)
The cost of labour and material is Rs. 89186.00 Without any tax. + 15% Service Tax


Now when i received the payment from the Party with payment advice it is showing following deductions:-

Gross Total Amount : Rs. 89,186.30
TDS Deductions      : Rs. 900.00
WCST (Service Tax) : Rs. 2816.00 (50% By Service Provider & 50% by service receiver)

Can anyone help me to understand all this deductions and how to raise correct invoice from next time

Hi,

As per Rule 2A of Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules, 2006, Service portion in Works Contract is deemed to be

a) 40% of Value Charged in case of Original Works (In this case effective Tax rate is 15% on 40% = 6% i.e 5.6% Service Tax, 0.2% SBC and 0.2% KKC)

b) 70% of Value Charged in all other cases (In this case, effective rate is 15% on 70% = 10.5% i.e 9.8% Service Tax, 0.35% SBC and 0.35% KKC)

However, if Works Contract Services are provided by an Individual/HUF/Partnership Firm to a body corporate, then reverse charge is applicable. Service Provider has to pay Service Tax on 50% of Service Portion and the Service receiver has to pay tax on the remaining 50% of the Service Portion.

So, whenever you are billing to Corporate Clients, charge 50% of the effective rate as service tax i.e 3% or 5.25% as the case may be.

However, whenever you are billing to non-corporate Clients, charge Service Tax at the full effective rate i.e 6% or 10.5% as the case may be.
