Hello

A University is providing Degree Course to its students, had hired a Professional Institute to teach its students against fee (however University is not charging anything extra from students). In addition Student shall also get a Certificate from that Institute.

Query

1. Will ST be charged on the fees paid to Institute by University when University is not charging anything over and above the fees as decided by state Government

2. Earlier the same was exempted before applicability of new Service Tax law i.e. June 2012 but is still exempted under new law ?

3. If no ST is applicable are any precautions need to be taken ?

The value of services provided is Rs.20 lacs during current year, out of which Rs.16 lacs is the value of exported services. Is it liable to pay service tax on balance of Rs. 4 lacs or being first year of service is it exempt from paying service tax as the value of taxable services provided in India does not exceed Rs. 10 lacs?

Hello Sir,

My Brother booked a flat which is currently in under construction status. I have paid almost full amount to the builder and only registration is awaited. My query is...

1. Even though the sale deed is not registered yet and payments/ considerations made in advance to the builder, will it still attract Service Tax..?

2. Also Builder says if you register the agreement after CC/OC received by Authority to the builder...you do not need to pay service tax, but penalty applicable....?

Please clarify...

Is it necessary to take registration separately for each co-owners where no separate bill is issued and no separate agreement by each co-owner with the tenant exists? The gross rent received annually exceeds 10 Lakhs, but not so for each co-owner.

In the present case, the tenant is a big pvt ltd company having almost 100 rental agreements across the country. In every case, they are paying service tax on behalf of the building. Co-owners/landlords are not registered with the service tax. Is reverse charge mechanism applicable here?

Is service tax exempt on services provided to foreign clients from india?
