Respected Experts,

I have to file ST Return for oct-mar'12 and last date for the same has already been over. Now we are liable to pay Rs.500/- (upto 15 days case) as penalty. Now My question is, what is the code for penalty? We come under service "AIR TRANSPORT OF PASSENGERS" whose code is '00362" and if we fail to pay the S.tax in time, we are to pay interest under code "00363". Now pls let me know if I should pay penalty for late filling of return under this code only (00363) or is there any other code for penalty on late filling of service tax return?

Waiting for soonest reply.

Best Regards

Dear Sirs,

I am to lease my whole 21000 sft building to a hospitality group, which will use it as a guesthouse for Corporates at an annual rent of Rs 33 lac.

My queries are :

a. Is Service Tax chargeable on this renting under 65_105_zzzz or exempted as it will be used for the purposes of accommodation, including boarding houses and holiday accommodation.

b. Can I split the rent into parts (by separate agreements with the lessee) - one towards the building rent @ Rs 24 lac/annum and the second @ Rs 9 Lac/annum towards the rent of plants & equipments like Lift, Power Sub-station, 100% Power backup system, Aircons/Geysers (no furniture considered). Investment on these P/E is around 50 Lac and the Lessee agrees to this 9L/year.

c. Can I avail depreciation on these P/E at prescribed rates?

d. Is Service Tax applicable on this P/E rent (if rent splitting is legally permissible)? As it is below the threshold limit of 10 Lac/annum, should I register for ST?

e. Can I claim depreciation on this building. It has been approved by the local authority as a residential multi-storeyed building, but always be used for renting. I have separate residential property for my own use in the same city.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

suppose a builder had registered and transferred ownership of property (incomplete) to third party. Builder have to pay service tax the amount of registration of property.

Than If he entered with him as a contractor for construction and furnishing of his residential building (i.e. to complete the incomplete part of house)

Whether he has liable to pay service tax as a service provider for construction of complex even if not fall under the definition of residential complex.

Please suggests also about the liability of VAT under the CG Vat Act.

In a work contract, If the work contract value is Rs. 100 and Vat is 4 %. Tell me how we calculate abatement and whether the Vat rate should also be abated

What is the logic behind having two different lists one for Negative List under Section 66D and other exempted list by way of Notification No. 12/2012 dated 16.03.2012

Dear Sir
we are engage in commercial Builders as a builders.
our one commercial mall project has been completed but there is some doubt about the service tax Liability.
so for protection in our self we mention a Para in sale deed As
" the seller has received form purchaser whole amount of sale consideration including service tax. The amount of service tax to be refundable by seller incase if service tax is not applicable in future."
