Dear All,
The reverse charge mechanism is applicable from 01.07.2012. However, if the bills were raised before 01.07.2012 and payments for the same afterwards, is the recipient of Service Tax liable to pay tax per the reverse charge mechanism?

Thanking in anticipation.

I am already registered under service tax but at that time i had no idea about reverse charge cases. At present time i am liable to pay service tax under reverse charge mechanism. My question is that whether i need to take new service tax registration or revise my current registration.

Hope you will resolve this query soon. Thanks for your support.

Dear Sir,
I have come across an issue regarding TDS deduction on Service tax under RCM. The detailed quire is as below:

The contract with contractor (handling contract) was entered into before RCM came into action. as per contract, nothing has been mentioned of any additional taxes which comes into being in future. So the ST component under RCM payable by Service receiver becomes expense for the service receiver , i.e. unrecoverable from service provider.

EXAMPLE:
contractor monthly bill : ₹40000 (nothing mentioned about ST)

company deducts TDS on ₹40000 : ₹40000*2% = ₹800. And pay Contractor ₹39200

company pays ST under RCM say, ₹3708 in contractors ST registration no. and charge it to expense GL.

Now, my quire is about TDS to be deducted.

1. (40000 + 3708)*2%

OR

2. 40000*2%

which of the above is correct.

supose in one year a firm's turnover exceeds rs.10,00,000 So it is liable to get service tax registration bt if in next year if turnover doesnt exceed the said limit then also we have to pay service tax or nt

hello friends,

i have a small pvt ltd company, from 01-04-12 to till date i didn't paid service tax , now i want to paid so any my service tax return will be file of 01-04-12 to 31-10-12 ?

individual assessee provides 2 services :- rental of immovabble & brokerage in cloth business.

service tax on rental income was collected in bill and hence, paid off via challan to department.

for brokerage, no service tax is collected.

total of both is only rs.8 lakhs a year (this is 1st year).

My querry :-
this rule that once payment is made of service tax, option to claim exemption of 10 lac in a year is no more applicable.

So now,can he claim 10 lac exemption?

my view- he had paid only as he had collected, he still can claim 10 lac exemptin.

any views,
regards, ca kunjan , kunjan@nsc.in www.nsc.in
