Sir,

Tractors are provided under supply of tangible goods service and supply of labour will fall under man power supply service.

Manpower is covered under reverse charge subject to conditions. Thanks.

Dear Sh.Paresh Ayadi,

In your situation, manpower has not been supplied because labour remained under the supervision and control of contractor. Contractor is liable to pay ST under the category of "Other Than Negative List." This is as per the definition of 'Manpower Recruitment or Supply Agency Services' under erstwhile Section 65(105)(K) Accounting Code 00440060. NO RCM.

Regarding the tractor charges, these fall under the erstwhile category of 'Right To Use Of Tangible Goods' under Section 65(105)(zzzzj). Accounting Code No.00440445.At present this is also covered under "Other Than Negative List" No RCM

In both services SP is liable to pay ST and perform all legal formalities.

Sir the contract given by querist is for removing garbage and other unused material. May it fall under cleaning service and taxed accordingly. This also need to be taken care Thanks.

Yes Sir. Even then it will be under the category of "Other Than Negative List" but not under Manpower Supply. Accounting Code will be changed accordingly.

Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani Ji,

Since both services, namely, Cleaning Services' and 'Right to Use of Tangible Goods' are not under RCM, the assessee would be eligible for threshold exemption limit of Rs.Ten Lakhs (combined).

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

Obviously Sir. But we do not know the turnover of the querist. Hence querist has to check and take a call. Thanks.
