I am civil contractor and paying GTA on frieght. Can i avail GTA paid against my output Service tax of civil business? if yes when it can be taken?

Further I pay Service Tax on value arived after abatement(ie on 25%) therefore any input service tax credit can be avail to pay such service tax of civil business?

Further, if I engage sub contrctor in my business then 50% service tax is payable by us as RCM method? if yes then it can be claimed as input credit while paying my service tax liability.

Dear Sir,
(If i am a Small Service Provider)

My Taxable Services Less than Rs.10 lakhs in the Previous F.Y. So this year i can avail exemption upto 10 lakhs.

--------IS THIS CORRECT ?-----------

a) My invoice contains Service tax number, but i don't collect and remit any service tax in the first Half year return (<10Lak).
b) If it crossed Rs.10lakhs in the middle of second half year, i should collect and remit from 10,00,001. I can avail input credit same from it.

We have provided service in India at Clients branch place but bill was required to made under the name of Foreign Company (outside India) and billing without Service Tax.

Acc to me,service tax is liable..

Bill amt is $56240/-. How will be service tax calculated and wht is the point of taxation??

Thanking you.....

In 194 I TDS is deducted on exclusive of service tax. In 194 J professional Fees TDS deducted on amt of inclusive of service Tax
But what reason behind that?

Dear sir

upto 31.03.2012 4,00,000

upto 31.03.2012 5,50,000/-

because interest rate is changed from 01/04/2011, it increased to 15% (for the assesses income not exceeding 60 laks) from 13%

So, i am not clear for the calculation of service tax whether it is liable to pay 13% or 15% or partially
and we are paying this service tax feb end

Dear Fnds,

If a person adding reimbursement of exp. in bill with billing of services.

Whether this exp will also be liable for Service Tax?

Ex. Fess for Consultancy Rs. 100
Travelling Exp. Rs. 20
Total Rs. 120

Whether Rs. 100/- is liable for service tax or Rs. 120/-.

dear sir,

if freight is not paid by us but transportation and other services is beard by us and ( transportation service we directly receiving from GTA)
so now here service tax on transportation is need to pay after taking abatment ?

because as per my knowledge
Service Receivers ’ are liable to pay service tax if

Consignor/ consignee paying freight, in case of GTA services – In case of services of Goods Transport Agency (GTA), the service tax is paid by the consignor/ consignee (service receivers) who is paying freight (however, the consignor/ consignee is not entitled to avail exemption available to a small service provider).


we are agent so in this case we need to pay service tax or not
