Service tax on insurance premium - form st 3

This query is : Resolved 

17 April 2015 DEAR SIR/MADAM

MY FRIEND IS A DIRECTOR OF PRIVATE LTD COMPANY. ONE OF ITS BUSINESS IS TO COLLECT INSURANCE PREMIUM(VEHICLE/ GENERAL INSURANCE)ALONG WITH SERVICE TAX ON THE PREMIUM. THE COMPANY COLLECTS THE PREMIUM FROM THE INSURED AND REMIT IT TO THE COMPANY'S BANK ACCOUNT AND THEN TRANSFER THE SAME TO INSURANCE COMPANY.

FURTHER HE IS NOT GIVING ANY RECEIPT/ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO THE INSURED FOR COLLECTING THE AMOUNT. BUT THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS GIVEN THE SAME TO THE INSURED.



IN THIS REGARD MY QUERIES ARE

1) ON SUBMITTING FORM ST-3 (SERVICE TAX) WHETHER THE WHOLE AMOUNT RECEIVED FROM THE INSURED (PREMIUM + SERVICE TAX) SHOULD BE SHOWN IN THE FORM (SL. NO. B1.1 - PAGE PAYABLE SERVICE). OR ELSE HE NEED TO SHOW ONLY THE COMMISSION THAT IS RECEIVED BY THE COMPANY FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY?

2) WHETHER HE NEEDS TO COLLECT/REMIT ANY SERVICE TAX FROM THE INSURED/INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE ABOVE TRANSACTION?

3) IF YES UNDER WHAT BASIS?

THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE

17 April 2015 1. In form ST-3 only the commission received by the company should be shown.
2. Service tax will be paid by insurance company under reverse charge for the above transaction.

17 April 2015 Thank you Seetharaman Sir,

Whether,
1) he needs to pay service tax on commission received from the insurance company.
2) he needs to issue any receipt/ acknowledgement to the insured for collecting the premium.

Thank you in advance




17 April 2015 1) No, under reverse charge it will be paid by insurance company.
2) No, receipt is issued by insurance company.

17 April 2015 Thank You Seetharaman Sir,

Is it an abatement or exemption?
Please specify the notification no. along with serial no. in order to show the same in Form - ST 3 (Sl. No. A11.2 OR A12.2, Page Payable Service).

Thank Your

17 April 2015 It is not an abatement or exemption. Since it is not a taxable service for the company don't show this service in ST-3.

17 April 2015 Dear Sir/Madam,

Please explain the difference between Abatement and Exemption in relation to Service tax?

Whether a notification issued under the Finance Act 1994 shall act as notification for both abatement and exemption?

Thank you in advance

17 April 2015 Thank you Seetharaman Sir,

Whether he needs to file nil return in this case?

Thank you




17 April 2015 If abatement is 60% only tax payable on 40% and for exemption no service tax payable.
Yes nil return has to be filed.

17 April 2015 THANK YOU SEETHARAMAN

WHAT IS NOTIFICATION NO. THAT HAS TO BE MENTIONED IN THE ST-3 RETURN FOR THE ABOVE?
