My contractor has done one Lumpsum Turnkey contract. During the contract execution there was no service tax on the works i e prior to 1.6.2007. After the applicability of service tax w e f 1.6.2007, my contractor has remitted service tax to the government but not raised the same in the tax invoice. After the contract is over, there was a prolonging dispute on this service tax which was not claimed by the contractor. He is showing proof of service tax challan for proof of service tax payment. The contractor is prefering the service tax claim now. Please clarify in the absence of tax invoice, based on the proof of service tax remittance, can we reimburse the service tax. If we, as a service taker, denied the claim, what would be the consequence?

Dear Sir,

My company is registered in UAE, carrying out the business of architectural drawings and we do not have any registration in India or any business interest in India. Recently we have prepared some Architectural drawings for a company in India and while making the payment, our client has deducted 20% tax towards service tax. In this regard, can you please clarify the following?

1) Is my Indian client is right in deducting TDS towards tax from my fees since the revenue earned by me out of a service carried out outside India and my company does not have any registration in India?
2) If yes, is the rate applied (20%) is correct or not?
3) If (1) & (2) above is yes, how can I get the refund from Taxation authorities, since we do not have a registration or business interest in India and hence my company is not an assessee in India?

Thanks

In case of a Construction contract entered with the party, the party is covered under the composite scheme and collects service tax @ 4.95%. in such case as per notification 15/2012 of service tax, what shall be our liability and how it shall be calculated?

Please advise in the following matter:-

There is an Individual rendering the professional service of technical inspection. He renders his service to an Indian company within India. The invoice is raised to the foreign company which does not has any Permanent Establishment in India that foreign company is just holding PAN in Indian. That foreign company will in turn raise invoice to the Indian company and this Indian company will invoice the customer for the same service.

Now the question is whether service tax is applicable or not in this situation. Because you see the individual is performing its activity in India while raising the invoice for the same to the foreign company and receiving payment for the same from that company.

In other words an Indian client contacted an foreign company for particular job and that foreign company hired and Indian Individual to perform this service in India. The Indian individual will invoice to that foreign company only and will receive payment from that company only, it is just that the performance of the service is done in India. Whether the Indian Individual will be liable to charge service tax in the Invoice raised to the Foreign Company.

A Company is under interior decoration services.

Now how to deal with VAT and Service tax under composite tax for the same.

When Section 66B will be applicable on the assessees? when the bill will be passed or when the notification comes.

Can we take the credit of service tax if our vendor deduct/debit some amount from our invoices? How?
