The service of this nature would fall under the category of 'Manpower recruitment and supply agency' which includes the service of supply of manpower, temporarily or otherwise. The levy would be applicable on the gross amount.

In general labor contractors are the actual employers and provide the labor on contract basis to the company. Therefore, you need to pay service tax gross amount including wages. However, if you satisfy that the you are acting as a pure agent, you need to pay service tax only on 2.5% received as service charges.

Qurey 

If construction company appoint a small contractor for painiting or plastering etc and contractor him self arrange labour :   labour are under the supervision of contractor and principal has no supervision or control over the labor 

then still it covered under the man power supply.

 

Thanks in advance
