Sir,

We are manufacturing components as job work to various boiler manufacturer. We are subcontracting some works relating to this process to outsiders. Whether the sub contractors are eligible from payment of service tax vide notification 8/2005, since the final product is excisable. Experts please clarify.

We have registered ourself for online submission of service tax return
from 25/03/2010 onwards and accordingly filed our first online return on
16/04/2010 without any problem. But in the next quarter, ie., from April
to September-2010 online return could not be filed in October-2010 as the
excel utility we had downloaded didn't had the column "Input Service
Distributor" in it. It was same for the next quarter.It is same till now &
there is no column for "Input Service Distributor". For this, we were
under impression that "Input Service Distributor" has been categorically
exempted from filing ST-3 return from 2010-11, we had verbally tried to
confirm it from the department, they failed to give any suggestion but
insisted to try it again. After this we had tried several times to file
the return online but in vain.

Now we are in default of filing of return for two quarters (Arp-Sept-10 &
Oct-Mar-11). As we cannot file the returns for two quarters (without any
fault from our end), department is insisting for penalty. We are totally
lost, as the penalty they insist of is huge (Rs. 20,000 for default in Oct-10 + Rs. 1000+ Rs.100 per day for default in Apr-11)!!!. We are only Input Service Distributors, are we eligible for such torturous penalty ? !!!!! kindly help, SOS !!!!

There is a continuous billing for Sales every month in a company, and at the due dates, the respective service tax amount is remitted to the govt and also the returns are filed.
But at the end of the year, the company in the last invoice made on march 31st,a discount of 7.5% on the Total Sales for full year is given.
They have billed service tax only on the difference between the Total bill for the month and the discount for the Year.

My query is, what should done for the excess service tax paid even on the discount received ? Can it be claimed in any way ? If so, could you please provide all the details.
