WHAT HAS THE SUPREME COURT DECIDED ON THIS ISSUE ON 20.01.2011? IN OTHER WORDS WILL THE STAY ORDERED BY THE DELHI HIGH COURT PREVAIL?

I have a doubt on service tax on import of services.

As per the reverse charge I need some clarity on the fact that, can I take input credit on the same month when my service tax liability is due on foreign payments.


During the month of Jan 11, Co. A (Indian Co.) makes payment to Co.B (Foreign Co.) and as per rules Co. A becomes liable to pay Service tax on that amount on Feb 6th , for which Co. A can take input credit also. But the doubt is when can Co. A take the input for the same ? While Making Service tax payment in Feb 11 or in march 11?

Company "A" is engaged in the business of letting our residential houses. Company assessee "B" received the residential houses from "A" and let out the same to employees.

Dear All,

I would be obliged if you solve the following queries of mine regarding Service Tax.

1. Whether an interior decorator and furniture contractor doing furniture and fixture work such as wooden partition, ceiling, window, door, paneling, kitchen units and fixed cupboards is entitled for abatement under construction services.

2. Whether POP contractor and painting contractor will be entitled for abatement if POP & painting work is carried out after carrying out interior work and after taking possession from builder. If answer is yes then how to prove that it was not a competion and finishing services.

3. What remedy service provider has when he has availed abatment and filed returns for which he was not entitled to to avoid penal action.

Please clarify my doubts.

If we provide a service as a sub-contractor, does the service attract service tax??

Note that the final place of consumption of the service is overseas.

The company sub-contracting the work is an Indian company, and we are billing the Indian company in foreign currency.

The industry we are in is IT services

Dear All

Please advise for Service Tax Payable on purchase of Flat at Virar.As my builder says that service tax to be payable by us extra. So please advice weather we have to pay or not or what answer we have to give to him.

Case Study:

1. Company A leases its production facility to Company B. The Agreement for lease speaks of Company B to reimburse the salaries and wages of employees of Company A who shall continue to work at reduced salaries & wages.

2. In practice, no amount of salaries and wages are reimbursed to company A. Instead, Company B pays the salaries and wages (and PF, ESIC contributions) directly to the employees (and contributions deposited in respective accounts directly)

3. According to law for Manpower Recruitment and supply agency services,salaries paid directly to the employees also are liable to service tax and shall be included in Gross Amount chargeable to Service tax.

My question:
Part 1. Does the clause in the "agreement for lease of production facility", for reimbursement of salaries make company A liable for service tax under manpower recruitment and supply agency.
Part 2. Are there any Supreme / High Court or Tribunal decisions similar to this case study.
