I was availing Exemption under the Service tax. However during The Month of September 2010 the amount billed has crossed the Limit of Rs. 10 Lacs but the amount received is still below Rs. 10 Lacs. So I Want to know whether I Should start billing with Service Tax or I should wait till The Amount Received Crosses Rs. 10 Lacs.

Sirs,

I've some queries relating to service tax as follows:

a. What kind of records are to be maintained for claiming service tax input. Will a file made of all the challans and bills which have contributed to the service tax input figure will do??
b. If I have received service tax (and deposited it with the govt) wholly or partly in respect of a bill against which I donot provide service later wholly or partly, Will I have to modify each such bill to clearly show the amount of ST received on taxable value of the services rendered for adjusting refund???
c. What are the main points which should be checked by the auditor during audit with respect to service tax??
warm regards

There was a query where we are providing audio amplification for a church function.
They have asked us not to charge service tax due to the following Notification:

Notification No. 14/2003-S.T., dated 20-6-2003

In exercise of the powers conferred by section 93 of the Finance Act, 1994 (32 of 1994), the Central Government, being satisfied that it is necessary in the public interest so to do, hereby exempts the taxable services provided to any person by a mandap keeper for the use of the precincts of a religious place as a mandap, from the service tax leviable thereon, under section 66 of the said Act.

Explanation.- For the purpose of this notification, “religious place” means a place which is meant for conduct of prayers or worship pertaining to a religion.

2. This notification shall come into force on the 1st day of July, 2003.

Also refer to the following:



1 ] as per the FAQ of the Service tax Department

5. SOUND RECORDING SERVICES :

Q.5.1) Whether lending/hiring of Video/Sound Recording equipment come under Service Tax?
Ans :- The Lending/hiring of Video/Sound Recording equipment is in the nature of Sub-contracts and because the Sub-contractors are not providing the services to the customer directly, they are not required to pay the Service Tax.

2] In case of CCE V Mahabir International (2008)15STT487(CESTAT SMB) is was held that where the activity involved is not a commercial activity . it cannot be taxed as a ”event management service”



In view of the above it is clear that there would be no service tax on the Sound services .



Please advice accordingly.
