My company have erroneously paid service tax on exempted services (burden have not been passed onto anyone). Now we want to claim refund of the same.

Can refund be claimed under old procedure ,i.e., by filling form R with necessary documents or is there any other way to claim refund?

what kind of services considered under RCM (reverse mechanism ) please advise me.

If the meeting was held in July 2012 (ie the time when the liability to discharge service tax was on the directors)but payment was not done. Now if the payment is to be done in the month of October. Who is liable to pay service Tax? If the liability is on director should he issue the invoice if his income is less than 10 lacs.

There is an Asseesee who is providing Manpower Service and charge service tax as per Reverse Charge Mechnaism i.e 25% by Service Provider and 75% by Service Receiver. Now my query is if he raise an invoice just for providing labour charges the same Reverse Charge will be appicable???

We are providing services to one of our client outside India. The client expects us to raise the invoice in their name in USD. My Query is

1.What are the taxation that applies to be levied to the client
2.When the client remits money to us in USD do we need to provide any additional documentation/ any additional charges to be borne by us?

Please advice as the matter is very urgent.

Whether service tax is applicable in the following cases?

Service provided on 12.03.2012
(This service becomes taxable from
01.04.2012)

My Query is as follows:

A (proprietership) firm is engaged in Carrying and forwarding agency. But in due course he has to employ some employees for the purpose of his customer only for which he is reimbursed.

My query is whether service tax should be applied in respect of this employees reimbursement. If yes then whether separate invoice should be issued in respect of this and C & F Agency.

Dear Sir,

I have a flate in the name of myself and my wife in an underconstruction building. The sale agreement was registered on 9/4/2012 after paying proper stamp duty. Payment to builder/devloper was done in instalments.
Previously builder/developer has not demanded Service tax.
On 22/9/12 we have paid one more instalment for which the buider is demanding service tax @3.09%

Kindly inform
1. Are we liable to pay service tax as sale deed already registered
2. Do we have pay service tax on full purchase price

HELLO
MY CLIENT (HOLIDAY DEVELOPERS) IS PARTNERSHIP FIRM HAVING TWO PARTNERS.
1. MR. RAM (OWNER OF LAND)
2. MR. SHYAM
THEY HAD CONVERTED AGRI. LAND INTO NON AGRI. LAND & MADE PLOTTING SCHEME OF IT.

ALL THE PAYMENT IS RECEIVED BY HOLIDAY DEVELOPERS.

IN THAT PLOTTING SCHEME DEVELOPERS WILL MAKE APPROACH ROAD, CLUB HOUSE ETC. ON THAT LAND.

IN THIS CASE HOW TO CHARGE SERVICE TAX & ON WHAT AMOUNT ???

IS THERE ANY TAX PLANNING AVAILABLE IN THIS REGARD ???

We are cab operator providing services to both corporate assesseee and non corporate assessee.
During this year we are claiming exemptions (SSI exemptions) and accordingly not charging service tax from clients. we already have raised invoices upto sept 2012 without charging service tax.

One of our client told us that Now from July 2012 onwards, reverse charge mechanism comes into effect where 40% of service tax requried to paid by Service receiver (Corporate assessee).

Our question is since we are availing exemption benefit and not including service tax in invoices.
(a) how we treat the above invocies raised to coproate assessee from july 2012.

- whether to raise debit notes (from july 2012 to sept 2012 invoices)
- to convey them and told them to pay service tax. since they are liable to pay service tax and file service tax return.

(b) give your suggestion
