Please advise whether we need to pay service tax for the below mentioned purchase.

We have purchased computer components from US company amounting USD 42,536.60 which is Rs. 19,12,000 ( approx ). This purchase is basically Import of software licenses. The US company has not charged Service tax in Invoice to us as they are not registered with service tax ( Non Indian company )

1. Do we need to pay service tax on such import of software's on behalf of this company as we have used these components in the finished product on which we are charging service tax to our client , if yes on which amount do we need to pay this...here I mean upto Rest.10 Laces there is no service tax payable so do we need to pay the ST on the amount going above that ??

2) Can I take credit of service tax paid on Rent payment, Housekeeping charges, etc also against the service tax payable on this import ?

3 ) We have purchased this software in April 2010 & till date not paid service tax on this...can we pay it now ? what will be the penalty if any ??

4) We have applied for ST regn May 10 & got ST-2,however not got Registration Certificate...Do this will affect ? Can we still file the return on / before 25th Oct ?

Pls reply to this. Thanks in anticipation.
Regards,

Lalit

Dear sir,
Due to certain error in calculation I had paid service tax in excess. Can I show the difference amount as excess paid in ST-3 returns to be filed before 25th October and adjust the amount in subsequent payment during the next quarter.
Clarification required urgently.

Thanks for sharing knowledge

dosto i have confusion regarding on service tax issue

FACT is that you must be aware in 2007 there is judgement comes on taxability of service i.e renting of immovable property which is used by further for commercial issue where it is held that such service not taxable.


upon this judgement many tenant does not pay the service tax amount its obvious but now what happened an amedment comes by budget 2010 on the same issue retrospectively accordingly such service now taxable.

upon this all tenants now have been paying previous service tax amount.

so now question arises ,

1. how this accounted this year as earlier not shows service tax receivable.
2. how this be shown in service tax return for current year as earlier its shown that no gross amount of rent recd not shown as taxable service provided,

kindly give your opinion on it with quoted relevent provision of service tax act or reasonable logic.


Thanking you

05.6.2010 Rs. 2,50,000
06.9.2010 Rs. 4,75,000

Total Rs.10,00,750

now since the amount has crossed the basic exemption limit of Rs 10 lacs than please guide me know that at which amount service tax is payable
