Dear Sir,

WE ARE STARTING A NEW BUSINESS IN CONSULTING - THE BILLING WILL NOT EXCEED RS.8.00 LAKHS DURING THE CURRENT FY-YEAR.WHETHER SERVICE TAX HAS TO BE COLLECTED ON THIS?

Suppose if the turnover exceeds 10 lacs say during Feb-2012 , then should we start we collecting the service tax from the date it crossed 10 lacs i.e next billing onwards.In that case what about the previous bills where we have not collected service tax.Are we liable to pay.

One of my client is a dealer in Automobile spare parts. once or twice in a month he keeps purchasing goods from neighboring states & pays transportation charges around Rs,10,000/- to Rs.15,000/- per shipment. ( Per annum Transportation charges will be around Rs.5 to 7 lacs.) No transporter is charging him service tax on transportation. should my client get him self registered with service tax & start paying Service tax under GTA.

Helo sir, can anyone tel me whether we can avail the input credit of service tax paid on telephone and mobile bills?

Dear Friends / Experts,

A friend of mine is working in a sole proprietorship firm.

His proprietor is a Service Tax Assessee.

The proprietor has collected from his clients, service tax amount of Rs.6.29 Lacs for FYE 31.03.10 and Rs.11.03 Lacs for FYE 31.03.11.

For FYE 31.03.10, the service tax amount is less than Rs.10 Lacs, hence, he is not covered under E-filing of Form ST-3.


Query

For FYE 31.03.11, the service tax amount is above Rs.10 Lacs. But, it seems the proprietor filed Manual Form ST-3 and department also did not notice or refuse or prompt him for E-filing. Please advise me whether the manual filing done by the proprietor for FYE 31.03.11 is in order.

Ans : ……………..

What will be the impact, if the department notices the manual filing of Form ST-3.


Ans : ……………..

Experts may advise suitably on the above query.

Thanks.

Respected Sr.

I need ur valuable suggestion on a Matter of service tax that in 2008-09 we did a Plantation Job in UP & We asked our client to pay the Service Tax on the said work But They told us that the activity Comes in Commissioning & Installation and they didn't paid the Service Tax.
But During Audit The Dept Imposed us a Charge of Non Payment of Service tax & we paid the amount with Interest & when we asked our client to reimburse the same Than they told that You Wrongly Paid the Amount & Go to Appeal, We Will not paid you any amount.
Pl suggest.

Warm regards

We have paid the service tax by quoting wrong assessee code and made the payment in our other group company. Both the assessee under the division & range. can we adjust the amount so excess paid as payment and want to adjust the liabilities for company which it belongs to.

Further, We can issue to NOC for quoting wrong assessee code to the department.

Can any one provide us the case law for same to satisfy thesuperintedent?

If the arrears of rent & current year rental income received during the current financial year exceeds Rs.10 laks. Should assessee pay service tax on both (arrears of rent & current year rental income)
