hi sir,
please advice me that service tax is liable on local cartage. ( include cartage in bill & cartage paid to Transporter on same date but received from party on receiving date )

Dear Experts,
First I thank you very much for those who had cleared my doubts and answered well. Now, I am liable to an amount of Rs.25000/- as Service Tax, which is delayed for 9 days.

1) The interest to be paid for Rs.25000/- is @ 13% ?
or
2) Rs.200/- per day or interest @2% per month, which ever is higher.

May I know, which is the present rule for interest on delayed payment of Service tax please ?

Now our company is considering to buy the raw materials(Poly chips) by unit in Gujarat and issue the same materials to our manufacturing unit ""M/s. XYZ Pvt.

Amended S Tax Act: Service tax leaviable on "Restaurant Service" & "Short term accommodation service"
But as per order by the karela High court (o0rder no 14045/2011 dated 16/06/2011, "there will be an interim stay against any coercive steps of recovery of service tax or against any proceedings for imposing penalty for a period of two months".

I have booked one bill for consultancy services which relates to the period 01.04.10 to 31.03.12 and made the full payment in F.Y. 10-11 itself.

I want to book the expense on proportionate basis between these two years but but can i claim the Service Tax Input in one year itself i.e. in F.Y. 10-11.

For eg.

TDS on Professional service Cr. 11030.00
