My query is whther ABC should file refund claim under Notfn 17/2009 in Calcutta Service Tax office or in Central Excise Dept gujarat.?

I want to know that the Service tax is applicable on labour contract or not. If applicable than who is liable to pay the tax.

Sir/Ma'am,
Can ITC on service tax be claimed in the current year on the service tax paid on the services taken in the previous year even if the organisation was not registered for the service tax in the previous year and got itself registered in the current year??

Please reply ASAP.
Thank you.

We charge service tax on every bill.(Hoarding,Press Release,Design,Online Services)

Latest i came to know that u/s 66d that in negative list this point is added:

New Service Tax Regime on Negative List applicable from 1st July 2012
(selling of space or time slots for advertisements other than advertisements broadcast by radio or television;)

Recently we have received a Hoarding bill from vendor without charging Service tax and, reasoning was no service tax charged as we come under negative list)

So,please clarify the section and tell whether we have to charge service tax or not ??

Has the department released the notification for Service tax negative list?

Have they come into effect?

I heard that sale of advertisements/time slots on digital medium (internet) comes under negative list.

Could you pls confirm if the same has come into effect?

Is e-payment of service tax is compulsory?
