Ours is a service industry registered under Service tax. While providing services to our clients we use some packing material. To save cost, we procured a corrugated manufacturing machine, and making corrugated cartons on our own by buying craft paper. While billing to our clients we do not show packing material cost separately i.e, our billing includes packing material cost. we are paying required service tax on these billings.
Now the query is whether the above comes under manufacturing and whether we need to take central excise licence and pay excise duty? If yes, how to calculate the assessable value. Again if yes, whether we need to pay both central excise and service tax on a single service?
