We are a private limited company engaged in constructing residential complex.

We are paying service tax @ 10.30% on 25% of gross value after availing abatement of 75%. Also we do not take CENVAT credit on input goods, capital goods or input services.

Now, our sub-contractor who does labour work for us and does not provide/use any material of his own is charging service tax on his bill.

Need to know whether this is valid if yes then under which clause?

Please reply its urgent.

Hitesh Patel

Kindly clear our doubt on penalty as per the following:-

a) What would be the penalty payable for the retun not being filed for six month period ending 30.09.2010 ? If we pay the penalty on Monday (2.5.2011) will it be Rs. 2,000/- or Rs. 20,000/- ?

b) Also if we pay penalty today for rs. 2,000/- and file the return on 2.5.2011 (for six month period ending 30.09.2010) then can the department ask us to pay the revised penalty of Rs. 20,000/- as it is 2.5.2011? Again what would be the scenario if we file the return on 3.5.2011?

c) Is the revised penalty of Rs. 20,000/- per return applicable for the returns after 1.5.2011 or for previous returns as well. In other words is the revised penalty clause prospective or retrospective?

We are an Construction company. Till 31.03.2011 we paid Service Tax against realisation of payment.

I came to know that w.e.f. 1.4.2011 the ST to be payable against raise the Bill/Invoice. Kindly clarify me with notification no. for this type of rule amendment by Service Tax Authorities.

Also let me know the outstanding ST as on 31.03.2011 (i.e., previous method of ST remittance against realisation). In which method we have remit the Service Tax.

Clear advise is requested to make the necessary method to prepare the remittance details for the month Apr. '11.

Thanks for your advise, well in advance.

Dear All

We are a manufacturing concern.
1)We are a service reciever of Goods Transport Agency on for transportation of raw material.
2)We sell our goods through hired vehicles and the bill amount is kept low to avoid service tax liability

Firstly i want to know that since from 01.04.11 service tax is payable on service recd date instead of earlier on payment date.Now we are having transport bills to be paid left from JAN'11. So when should we deposit service tax for our carriage inward bills pendind fron Jan'11. And is there any penalty if we have violated the last date, if yes then at what rate.

Secondly What is the per bill amount that can be kept to avoid service tax liability in case of our carriage outwards.

Thanking You all In anticipation
