What is the rate of service tax in 2012-13?

Hi,
My query is that can balance of input service tax as on 1st April be utilised for output service tax liability of the current financial year.

EG:
01/04/2012 Op Bal Input Service Tax 5.00 Lacs
Output liability for Apr-2012 7.00 Lacs
Balance payable in cash 2.00 Lacs

Is the calculation correct ??

Whether service tax is applicable on cotton ginning process after implementation of Negative list? I think it should be covered under agriculture activity and hence exempted. However the process is done at ginning mill and not in agriculture farm.

Please advice.

I have received msg from google, but while seeing negative list of service tax such service is not mentioned, pls suggest me...
following msg is received..


"Due to a recent change in Indian tax regulations, the service tax rate for advertising services supplied by Google India Private Limited will change. The rate will be reduced from the current rate of 12.36% to 0% (zero percent). Given that Education Cess and Secondary & Higher Education Cess are calculated as a percentage of the service tax, we will also no longer charge these taxes. This change will take effect for all AdWords invoices dated on or after July 1, 2012.

Please note that Google cannot advise you on tax matters and recommend that you contact your tax adviser for any questions regarding this change.

The tax exemption details (negative list) can be found in the Finance Act, 2012 (Clause 143). In particular, the 17 services that comprise the negative list can be found at Section 66D. The sale of advertising space or time slots is included under (G) Section 66D. Notification No 19/2012-Service Tax appoints the 1st day of July, 2012 as the date from which the provisions of clauses (C), (F), (G) and (I) of the Finance Act, 2012 (Act No 23 of 2012) shall come into effect."
Pls suggest me as soon as possible.........
