Is service tax applicable to acticity of plotting and selling of land under works contract or Construction service? Please note that an Assessee does not make any construction on the said land. He only plots and sells the same to customer.

Thanks for my earlier query.

However if the institute / deemed university is recognised by the Ministry of Human Resource Development of Government India, even then service tax provisions are not applicable to such institute / deemed university?

DEAR SIR/MADAM,
WHICH ST 3 SHOULD I USE UPDATED OR OLD -SINCE IN UPDATED SHEET ONLY DATA OF APR, MAY, JUN, CAN BE PUT, THEN WHAT ABOUT REST DATA OF JULY AUG & SEPT?

I would like to know the latest updates of applicability of service tax provisions to the deemed universities.

Is there any specific exemptions to these universities under any notifications?

Sir
I am from Air Travel Agency. Issuing tickets directly for Airlines and paying Service tax to Govt.Also buying from Consolidators/ big travel agents and paying Service tax to them. Also We also book hotels for our clients.

Now service tax department asked for 5 years records. After checking the same they told us the irregularities done by us:

We are Travel Agents and if purchased tickets from Consolidator we have to pay service tax @ 12.36 % on all commissions earned. Kindly note that we have collected service tax on basic fares and paid to the consolidators as in case of our own stock Tickets.

Department also insisted us to club Air tickets and hotel bookings and transfer to Hotel package. A lot of difference is there in hotel package and clubing the Air ticket and Hotel bookings. Though Tour package covers complete tour including Transfer from Airport to Hotel, all meals etc.

Also we have received commission on CRS. This commission has nothing to do with client service. Department also asking service tax & penalties.

Now department is asking heavy payments on account of service tax and penalties



We can discuss in detail all the queries raised by the department.
