I am having a proprietorship firm in which i have 5 cargo van which runs in courier delivering company under an agreement.

I am curious to know that can i charge Service Tax over Bill Amount?

Actually i was charging Service Tax over Bill Amount but few days ago I was told that there is a new rule effected from 01.07.2012 under which no proprietorship firm can charge Service Tax over Bill Amount unless firm is Private Limited.

Is that right?? If yes then please guide me and also send me a link where i can go through the new amendment of Service Tax.

Thanking u in advance..

Sir/Mam,
I have a query on the applicability of the service tax on the sub-contract of construction works such as masonry works, flooring works, cutting and binding of steel, preparation of steel structure for roofing etc.
In the present situation, for the above works, steel, cement etc is supplied by the contractor/ builder and the contractor/ builder pays ST on his bills raised by him to the principal builder.
My query is that, since there involves no transfer of materials, the above works will not be covered under works contract and as per the definition of construction works, above works will not be covered under construction services and if we go through the definition of job-work (as per Central Excise Act, since not defined under Service Tax) it says, that the semi-finished/ finished product of sub-contractor/ contractor should be used by the principal manufacturer for manufacture. i.e., to manufacture certain goods as per the definition of central Excise Act, 1944.
Hence, these works may not come under all the above three categories.
The other point to be considered here is that the main contractor will collects and pays ST on his bills raised to principal builder which involves the bills of the sub-contractor also.
Hence, in the present ST Act of negative listing, are these services are taxable under ST and if so in which category...?!
Please clarify the same.
Thank You,

Hello friends,

I am working in a construction co. engaged in taking up construction of civil works.

We have built a road for a well known Public co. for transportation of it's goods from one place to another (about 15 - 17 kms.). The road is going through few villages so it has been used by villagers.

My que. is - As road is used by general public (villagers), can we take it as road used by general public and claim exemption from service tax as per point no. 13(a) of Notification No. 25/2012 - ST.
