My firm works as a forwarding agent of goods/cargos, ot produceders/manufacturers, it just work as an intermeditori between producers and shipping line. Is it liable to pay s.tax?

Dear Sir

We are providing legal services. w.e.f 01/07/2012 these services are come under reverse charge mechanisam.hence the service receiver is liable to pay tax on these services.

Our value of services provided has exceeded the basic exemption limit of 10 lacs now should we have to get registered under service tax act.

another point is if the service receiver wants to avail cenvate tax credit for the service tax paid by it on reverse charge basis. is it necessary that our invoice should mention our service tax number. eventhough we are not liable to pay service tax.

ABC company has given a commercial property to Governmental authorities on lease in consideration of rent income. Should ABC company charge Service Tax? The notification no 25/2012 dated 20.06.2012 (list of exempted services) does not cover this kind of service rendered to governmental authorities. So ST must be charged in this case. Please do confirm.
