The Contractor will charge you 10% on the service portion of the bill. No service tax will be charged on the portion of value of the goods transfered, which is vatable. The Contractor may charge yoy 4% on the Gross Bill if he is under the composite scheme.

Agree with Mr Basu. Only to add that cess of 3% is also leviable on the amount of tax. So effectively it becomes 10.3% or 4.12% as the case may be.
