A party has raised a bill towards car hire charges. He has charged Service Tax at the prescribed rate on 40% of the gross value of service provided. While other parties, providing same service are charging service tax on 100% of the gross value of service provided. I wanted to know what is the rule? Is the party charging service tax on 40% of the gross value of service provided is enjoying any abatement or he is not charging service tax on cost of fuel consumed? Please clarify.
Abatement to the extent of 60% is admissible for the rent-a-cab operator providing such services, if the service provider does not avail the benefits under Cenvat Credit Scheme or the benefits under Notification No. 12/2003-S.T., dated 20-6-2003. (Notfn. No. 1/2006-S.T., dated 1-3-2006).
