Services of a labour contractor are liable to service tax.
You need to register for service tax if your annual turnover is Rs. 10 lacs or more.
Moreover, if the turnover is not Rs. 10 lacs but has reached Rs. 9 lacs, you need to apply for service tax registration.
Thanks & Regards,

Indian Service Tax

Manpower Recruitment Agency

Effective Date: 07/07/1997.

Authority: Notification No. 23/97-ST, dt. 02/07/1997 (for full text of Notification see under'Consulting Engineer').

Rate of Service Tax: 8% from 14/5/2003 (5% upto 13/5/2003). 10% from 10/9/2004 - Cess 2% of 10% = 0.2. Total ST = 10.2%.

Q.Whether the labour contractors, who supply their own labour on contract, would be covered under the definition of Manpower recruitment Agency?

Ans. No, since the labour contractors supply their own labour on contract, they do not help their client in recruitment of labour in any way. Therefore, the supply of labour on contract is not covered under the definition of Manpower recruitment Agency.

Labour contractor - Exempted

Man Power Recruitment Agency's Service

Point No. 4.

Most of the manufacturers in the Trade are entrusting a work to a contractor to a mutually agreed amount to complete the work viz. loading of cargo, unloading of cargo, packing of finished goods etc. The contractor brings his own men on his account and completes the entrusted work by using his own labour. The labourer is no way connected to the Trade/Management and will not come in the pay roll of management. On completion of the entrusted work, the contractor receives the agreed amount from the management viz. Manufacturer/Trader.

Therefore, it is to be clarified whether the contract work taken by a contractor to a mutually agreed amount will fall under Man Power Recruitment Agency.

Reply

As per Section 65(68) of the Act, Man Power Recruitment Agency means any commercial concern engaged in providing any service, directly or indirectly, in any manner of recruitment of man power, to a client.

The DGST, Mumbai has clarified vide question and answers (2000-2001) No. 7.5 that the labour contractors, who supply their own labour on contract, would not be covered under the definition of Man Power Recruitment Agency. Since, the labour contractor supply their own labour on contract, they do not help their client in recruitment of labour in any way. Therefore, the supply of labour on contract is not covered under the definition of Man Power Recruitment Agency.

Dear Sir,
You are correct but the provisions have been changed since then. The said clarification has been withdrawn by the department.
The provisions of service tax have been amended to include "temporary supply of manpower by manpower recruitment or supply agencies".
Kindly refer to Circular F.no. B1/6/2005-TRU dated 27-07-2005 wherein the same has been clarified by the department.
Hope this would clarify the position.
Thanks & Regards,
