1. A developer gives contract for construction of building to a contractor as the contractor is unregistered he is not charging any Service Tax from the developer. In this regard I want to know whether there is any liability of the developer, who has granted the contract to the contractor.

2. If developer has any liability then currently he is registered as service provider under the head " Construction of Residential Complex " so what type of formalities is supposed to be complied by the developer if he will be liable to pay Service Tax on behalf of the contractor, since the contractor is unregistered.

There is a Manufacturing Company. It is registered under Service Tax under Transport of Goods by Road Category. It avails cenvat credit of the services received & utilizes the same against it Excise duty liability. It has it registered office & manufacturing facility at the same place. The billing is also done from that place only. But it has various offices in other states & locations also. Billing is not done from those other offices & location. These other offices & locations are not mentioned in the Service Tax Registration Certificate.

My question here is whether the company can avail the cenvat credit of the services of those other offices & locations? And whether those other offices & locations needs to be mentioned in the Service Tax Registration Certificate?

Dear All,

Can we use cenvat credit to pay service tax liability from import of service?

What is the current rule under cenvat credit.

Dear Members,



Your expert opinion is invited over the following issue:



“A firm in the business of publishing magazines. Whether service tax is applicable on the amount received against the sale of advertisement space in the magazine”



It may be worth mentioning here that the service of “Sale of Advertising Space or Time” specifically excludes the advertisement in print media. Also according to my interpretation of the law, the above firm does not fall in the category of an advertising agency since it is not creating any advertisement material.



I hope that the learned members will provide clarity on the above issue.

I have a private Ltd. co. It is rendering "Content Management services", Data feed management, online marketing services, E commerce marketing services, I.T.Support services (support to the website, backhand programming ) etc. to a company in USA. Every month it raises its invoice on the USA co. and it got its payment in convertible foreign exchange in India in its bank account.

The main server of the foreign company is in USA and we are using that server to work. Also the foreign company is processing the order which are received only from foreign countries and not from india. The end user of the products of the foreign company are from foreign countries only & not from India.

In this case, kindly sugges me whether my company is exemt from service tax ? Can you give me some circular reference in this regard. Also whether my company is exempt from taking registration of service tax or whether it is reqd. to take regn. and make payment of service tax and then take refund after exporting the services. Kindly guide me at the earliest.
