Dear Sir/Madam,

As per Notification No. 15/2012; @ 25% of Service Tax is payable by Service Provider and @ 75 % Service Receiver.

The quarry is:

Can Service Receiver pay this 75% share to the Service Provider for on going payment to Service Tax Department.

As per agreement 25% of S.T. is also being reimbursed to the Service Provider. Can 75% Component also be paid through Service Provider by Reimbursement to him.

Dear Expert

We dismantled the one of the old column (made of steel) of our factory shed and replaced the same with new column, the service provider has charged service tax for the above service.whether we are eligible to take credit of the same under renovation of factory shed.

The Central Excise official says this service is not eligible for cenvat as renovation as it is a part of the construction activity which is excluded from input service defination.

kindly clarify

Service tax charged by hotels/restaraunts is to be charged on what value..?? they also charge VAT on their bills...so service tax is to charged on only the value of services or value including VAT.

Also there is abatement in case of hotels, that abatement is to be claimed on what value?? value of services or value of the total bill??

We are in the business of selling artificial sugar substitute. we have dedicated third party manufacturer from whom we purchase our finished product as per our specification & sell it in market.We have also engaged a manpower recruiting organisation to provide us manpower who are on their payroll but working for us. For every month we are paying to the manpower provider including the service tax on their invoice. My question can we get the credit on the service tax that we are paying for manpower service ?

Basically construction companies has two agreements i.e., Sale Deed agreement & construction agreement(Memorandum of understanding)called MOU. for example total flat value is Rs.1,00,00,000/- in that sales deed agreement value is Rs.30,00,000/- and remaining balance amount is Construction agreement (MOU) Rs.70,00,000/-.
My doubt is "whether service tax abatement 67% or WCT 4.944% (Please clarify me both modes) applicability on total flat value or any changes in this regard". Please clarify me any one with notification details.

Please note the issue.
In march, 12 I raised invoice of Rs. 110/- (100 as basic and 10 as service tax assumed).
Now in Oct, 12 client wrote me mail that invoice is wrong. actual basic should be 90 only.
Now I reversed complete transaction and new scenario is bill of Rs. 99 (Rs. 90 as basic and 9 as service tax)
Problem is that I have paid Rs. 10 to government. NOw I cant revise the return. but I have received only Rs. 9 from my client.
What should be accouting treatment.????
