He will provide service but the entire control will be in the hands of the employees of the owner(my client) of the machine and fuel/maintenance expenses will also be borne by him. My query is that under which service catagory the above service falls. Also please advice me whether Maharashtra Value Added Tax will also be applicable or not.

Restaurant service & accomodation service are made liable to tax from 1.5.11. Notification No 1/2006 exempts 70% / 50% of amount received from tax. Condition is that the assessee should not avail cenvat credit and should not avail benefit of Noti 12/2003.
Notification No 6/2005 (small scale exemption) exempts gross amount charged towards taxable service upto first Rs.10 lakh. The value of "Wholly" exempt service is to be excluded from rs.10 lakh (Explanation B of Notification 6/2005). In case of hotels / restaurants, the exemption is partial. (50% & 70%). Question is : For calculating exemption of Rs.10 lakh, whether 30% or 50% as the case may be should be taken or full amount should be taken? Example : Restaurant sale amount : Rs.14,00,000/- Working 1 : 14,00,000 X 30% = 4,20,000/ - It is less than Rs.10 lakh so no service tax. Working 2 : 14,00,000 – 10,00,000 = 4,00,000 is liable. 4,00,000 X 30% = 1,20,000 taxable. Service tax 1,20,000 X 10.3% = 12,360. Which is correct ? Dept. stand is working 2.

Sir,

A person provides manpower recruitment service. This is first year and the turnover have exceeded 9 lacs. Thus he had registered himself under service tax.

Also he has paid the applicable service tax for the last two quarters WITHOUT AVAILING THE SSI EXEMPTION.

However he is eligible for SSI exemption during this first year. And if that is the case, whether he is eligible to claim exemption by adjusting the tax in remaining quarters.

Also suggest if any other remedy avaliable.

Thanks.
