Dear Experts,
Please clarify that if a company is giving its vehicles to second company on RENT without drivers and petrol expenses, then which tax is applicable sales tax or service tax ?? (Ony vehicles are given to second company on the basis of agreement, there is not any other service of goods provided AND hirer can use these vehicles without any conditions for the period as agreed).
As per sales tax it covers under Deemed sales and as per Service Tax it will cover under service of supply of tangible goods for use??
Which should be applicable.
Please reply soon!!
Thanks in advance

I am a service tax assessee under business auxiliary services. Incomes from Indian companies for exports are collected with service tax and paid to Govt.

My question is with reference to : income in USD from Thailand for export of their material to Nepal. - With reference to Service tax - is this to be treated as exempt service or if it becomes export of service, or since this is service outside India - so it may not be a taxable service ?

Also does it need to be mentioned in Service Tax Return ? If yes, under which heading etc., and is it required to be mentioned in total value of taxable bills raised ?

If exempt, what are the relevant notifications etc. ??

IS THIS IS NECCESSARY FOR SERVICE RECEIVER BEFORE TAKING CREDIT OF INPUT SERVICE TO COLLECT THE COPY OF CHALLAN FROM SERVICE PROVIDER

please anybody tell me about that whether construction contract service fall under composition scheme or not and whether there is any exemption availed under construction contract service
