DEAR SIR,

PLEASE NOTE THAT NOTIFICATION NO 08/2016 IS ONLY APPLICABLE WHERE AGREEMENT / ORDER IS SIGNED ON OR BEFORE 28TH FEBRUARY,2016 AND CONTRACT WHICH ARE EXECUTED TILL MARCH,2020.

HENCE YOU NEED TO CHECK THAT WHETHER ORDER IS SIGNED BY THE MAIN CONTRACTOR ON OR BEFORE MARCH,2016 AND ACCORDINGLY ONLY YOU CAN CLAIM EXEMPTION. BETTER TO TAKE LETTER FROM HIM TO AVOID ANY ISSUE WITH DEPARTMENT AT LATER STAGE.

ALSO IF YOU ARE OTHER THAN PROPRIETOR THAN YOU MAY LIABLE TO PAY SERVICE TAX UNDER RCM ALSO ON THE EXPENSES INCURRED BY YOU SO ALSO CHECK THE SAME.

Dear Sir,

You need not to collect service tax subject to the conditions specified in the notification such as date of agreements etc.
