Dear Sir,

Please inform whether the service tax on construction of residential complex is payable even before 1.7.10 . The recent notification mentioned that the advances received prior to 1.7.10 for construction of residential apartment is not attracting service tax. Also another information is that any amount received till the date of obtaining the CC ie completion certificate is attracting service tax.
When I have contacted the service tax dept, they informed that the service tax is applicable even for the advances received prior to 1.7.10.
Please advice the applicability of the service tax provision for the advance received prior to 1.7.10. This is due to the reason that the customers are asking the refund for the service tax paid on the advances.

Who is considered as Large Taxpayer under Service Tax?

A TRANSPORTER NOT CHARGED ANY SERVICE TAX IN HIS BILL.

IN THE YEAR AMOUNT RS. 8LACS PAID TO HIM.

NOW, HOW WE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS NOT LIABLE TO SERVICE TAX I MEAN TRANSPORTER.

Thank you once again.
the contractor is engaged in preparing finshed goods like misti dahi,fitness curd ,lassi etc.we do provide him raw material and he finishes his job by packing finished goods
At the end we do make payment @ per kg basis.
