A SERVICE PROVIDER IS PROVIDING TWO CATEGORY OF OUTPUT SERVICES TO A CLIENT UNDER SEPARATE AGREEMENTS.

NOW, IS THE CENVAT CREDIT TAKEN IN RESPECT OF ONE CATEGORY IS ALLOWABLE AGAINST THE LIABILITY OF SERVICE TAX IN RELATION TO OTHER OUTPUT SERVICE?

here, company take an yard on rent for empty container storage and shift their empty container from company premises to above yard area. On this shifting company use transporter and company paid shifting charges to transporter. Amount of shifting charges is expense for the company, company not recovered any sum against this from anyone.

hi friends

what is the amount on which service tax is tobe calculated in construction business?

how to calculate above service tax?

Dear Friends!

Ours company is engaged in manufacturing of Auto parts. We avail services w.r.t to design and drawing through mail for a foreign company which has no existence in India. Even that foreign company do not come to India for providing its technical support. We also do not use its brand name. The final products are sold in our brand name only.

Understanding with the Foreign Company:

We have to pay as Royalty @ 2% on the basic sales price of the product which are manufactured by using its design and drawing.

My Query:

1. Is the payment of Royalty attract Service Tax?
2. If yes, then what is its procedure to be followed?
3. Can the service tax if so charged be availed as MODVAT Credit?

Your earlier response to this will be highly appreciable.

Thanks
