The Client is providing Air Travel Agency Service and is liable to pay service tax on specialised rates on domestic and international travel. After the introduction of Swachh Bharat Cess these rates changed to .725% and 1.45% respectively with .025 and .05 being the amount of Swachh Bharat Cess. The Aces website rejected the Xml file uploaded on 28.04.2016 stating that the above mentioned rates are not valid. Kindly advice on the same as to how the return is to be uploaded in this case.

The bank has received ATM NFS charges at the end of the month. Actually, every month, either there is income or expenses as regards the ATM is concerned. This is specially due to the fact that a particular bank, who is member of ATM NETWORK, the charges of ATM are either debited or credited to it depending upon the pattern of use of the ATM machines of the customers of various banks. In a way, there is income to bank if other bank customers use this bank's ATM machine. Conversely, it may be expense to the bank, if the customers of particular bank are using other bank's ATM machines.
Our query is whether we should take net of income-expense or whether we should treat these two events seperate?

Kindly reply.

Hello Everyone,

I paid service tax of Q2 in Oct 2015 and for Q3 in Jan 2016. Later on I came to know that the service is exempted. There is no other service during the year. Hence no liability of service tax.

So I want to know where I should show it in my service tax returns. As advance in Q3 - Q4 return. or no action in current year. Show it in advance when the liability arises.

I am currently providing electrical contractor and maintenance services to PWD, MP however department is not paying me any service tax. They are saying that the services provided to the state govt is exempted under finance act whereas as per my CA service tax has to paid on the amount received in bank.
Please suggest me whether am I liable to pay service tax or the services provided to state govt is exempt. Even If I am liable to pay service tax on the receipts then how can I get this service tax from the PWD as the service tax is Indirect Tax.
