I am conducting audit of a hotel and the hotel is not availing abatement on mandap keeper services(including supply of food),Pandal and shamiana (including supply of food),ODC services and availing input credit.
My question is whether it is beneficial not to avail abatement and take input credit or the hotel should avail abatement.
Please reply soon.Thanx in advance.

One of my client is exempted from service tax since he is providing taxable service to a company outside India. Also he satisfies all conditions required for exemption that is fees in FR.

my query is whether filling of ST return is mandatory for him also??

At present, the rate of Service Tax is 10%, payable on the "gross value of taxable service". In addition to this, Education Cess is payable at the rate of 3% on the Service Tax amount.
As per Union Budget 2012-13, service tax rate increased to 12% from 10% w.e.f.01.04.2012.
Please let me know whether education cess @ 3% is applicable or not w.e.f.01.04.2012.

Dear All,
I am a student and I also freelance doing computer repairs, and taking tutions. I will be filing my IncomeTax for the period 1/4/2010 - 31/3/2011. During this time, I have had an income of 1,90,000 from tutions and computer repairs; which I have used for my expenses.

Am I liable to pay service tax for this amount? If yes, how much? and if not? can you tell me the scheme under which i am exempt??
