X Ltd is an exporting company.It entered with an agreement with a partnership firm,say Y. Y will act as a pure agent for X ltd as per service tax (Determination Of Value Rule 2006) Rule No-5.Y as a service provider,procure service from 3rd parties and provide it to Xltd, which is the service recipient.Y pays to the 3rd party the value of service including service tax which subsequently reimbursed by X ltd.that means if Y paid Rs100+service tax 10,X Ltd reimbursed 110 only not more.The 3rd party raises bill(100+10) in the name of Y.In this example,considering the concept of pure agent as per service tax (Determination Of Value Rule 2006) Rule No-5

Whether input service tax credit can be taken by the service provider Y, or service recipient X Ltd or none of these.

My second question is whether input service tax credit can be carried forward to an unlimited period or it will lapse?

Dear Exparts,
I have a query regarding availment of CENVAT credit on GTA service by Centralised regitrant. For example say there are three manufacturing units 'A','B'& 'C' of the same industrial group.One of the unit say 'A' is centrally registered for payment of service tax on to GTA service in respect of all three units .'A' pays service tax on GTA service in cash for all three units, takes credit of the amount so paid and sets of against his own central excise duty liability.
Now question is without taking registration as ISD, whether it is legally correct on the part of 'A' to utilised the credit wholely aginst his own tax liability. Thanking you in advance. S.S.Roy

Dear Members,

Please guide me with respect to the following.

One of my clients which is a private limited company and a manufacturing exporter of leather products gets it's products fabricated from outside fabricators.

It issues all the components e.g. cut leather, lining cloth, thread, adhesive, accessories etc to the fabricators who in turn get the stitching and assembling done applying their own labour. They are paid on piece rate basis on a pre detrmined rate after deducting TDS.

My queries are:
1. Whether service tax/VAT is chargeable on the fabrication charges paid.

2. If yes whether the company is liable to pay service tax/VAT if the fabricator fails to do so.

3. Whether it would make any difference if the fabricator works exclusively for the company and uses only machines owned by the company and leased out to the fabricator.

Thanks & best regards,
