1. Obtained st-2 in the name of my proprietory concern on 16 -3 -2012. This is the first year of my proprietary concern. I have taken registration as i provide taxable service....
2. Filed half-yearly nil return on 25 april
3. Billing to be raised of 5 lakh
4. expected annual income to exceed 10 lakh

My questions-

1. Should I charge service tax on the billing of 5 lakh
2. When should I start charging service tax?

TDS IS TO BE DEDUCTED ON GROSS AMOUNT OR NET AMOUNT INCLUSIVE OF SERVICE TAX ANY NOTIFICATION???

Sir, plz. clarify whether a firm carrying on business of construction of resi.complex can change the classsificaton to works contract service for the same complex/building during the project period? the firm not charged and paid ST till July 2010 as provided for construction services by the department. but from 1.7.2010 the firm is paying at 4% rate under works contract. is it correct?

kindly clarify..

As per Point of taxation rules, 2011 POT will be date of invoice or advance payment whichever is earlier.

As per provisions of Rule 4A of FA 1994 Service provider has to issue invoice with in 14 days of completion of service or reciept of advance.

My query is that when advance is recd. whether the invoice will be issued of the whole amount of taxable service or only to the extent of advance.

In reality it is a general practice to issue invoice only to the extent of the advance but i am confused in theortical terms what should be done.

My Company is providing "Third party Inspection" service to Ministry of Home Affairs under the category of Technical Inspection & Certification service in respect of Roads constructed.My query is that :-
