Got an email for Non Payment of Service Tax/ Central Excise duty on the earned income for the FY 2014-15. I work as an IT Consultant for a USA firm. I work remotely and get paid in Dollars(which gets converted into Indian currency). I do not have any service tax number, as I was in the impression I am not eligible to pay the tax as my client is not in India. My income is more than threshold exemption limit of Rs. 10 lakhs . Kindly guide me how should I go ahead with it. Thanks,

Respected sir,
we receive commission income for transportation of goods. However we have no truck or we do not own any vehicle. we simply take truck on rent and give that truck on rent and got commission income. so my question is now that whether we are liable to pay service tax. And what if we are partnership firm??

Dear Experts,
Does the service of hiring by building stalls for Exhibition fall under the preview of Service Tax?

In terms of order by addl commissioner gst service tax is determined as payable. our contention that services fall under pure agent is not accepted by service tax department

The order also asks to pay interest for delayed payment

My question is interest liability will start from which date ? from due date of payment as per ST3 or date on which service tax payment has been determined

The service tax department is taxing an educational institute (senior secondary school) for the Hostel (Boarding) facility provided BY the school to its students for the period 1-4-2013 to 11-7-2014 under the head “Auxiliary Education Service” on the basis of Notification 3/2013 dated 1-3-2013.

But the department had exempted the transportation service provided BY the education institute on the basis of some decided case law. But they are not exempting the hostel service provided BY the school for the period 1-4-13 to 11-7-14 in the absence of any clear notification or decided case law.

The hostel boarding charges are also well below 1000/- per day and the school is also up to 12th standard.

There should be same justification as in case of transportation service to exempt the Boarding (Hostel) facility provided by the school but he department is demanding service tax along with interest and penalty.

My query is whether there is any judgement on this matter or any notification in this regard so as to fight with the department?

Thanks in Advance.

Dear All
One of my clients has given his one building to a school for education purposes from 2013-14 .
My questions are-
1. Is it taxable service for FY 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 or not?
2. If it is taxable service , is there any abatement in relation of this service ?

XYZ (Manufacturer) is procuring material and giving it to a outside contractor for carrying out various fabrication, repair and maintenance jobs within the factory premises. The contractor is charging labour charges bill for the same on lumpsum basis depending upon the nature of work and not on man hour basis but not charging service tax being within the threshold exemption. EA-2000 audit team is demanding service tax from XYZ under reverse charge under ‘Manpower supply’ for the period 14-15, 15-16 and 16-17. Is the demand sustainable under the service tax provisions?
