The company has not taken the input of service tax on the services taken by it during 2008-09.The service tax return has also been filed with the department. Can input of service tax be claimed in 2009-10? Please suggest. Is there will be need for filing revised return and also suggest if the original return was filed before 6 months ( i , e we will not be able to revise the return).Pls advise.

Hello... I have a doubt.. As per the Finance Act the Service tax has to be deducted and remitted while making advance payment to the service provider... The CENVAT can be claimed only when the invoice is available with Service tax amount clearly mentioned on it... So, does it mean the client of any service provider cannot avail credit unless he receives the bill from the service provider? What will be the case in year end?

thanks for people who reply for my query in advnce...

MY CLIENT IS DOING INVESTIGATION WORK FOR THE GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANIES. WHETHER HE WILL COME UNDER SERVICE TAX.

can you plz tell me that like how in income tax we have a time limit for calling for a scrutiny of returns which is 6 months from the end of the A.Y. in which we file the return, do we also have a similar time limit in service tax and if so what is the time limit???

My Company is a service Provider got registered in December 09 only.We are doing a job under Business Auxilary Services against which we are receing advance since August, which agregate in 16 lakhs.Now We want to charge Service tax on Whole amount.Is it possible to charge service Tax on whole amount and can we still file Delayed Service Tax return for Sep quarter also.I also want to Know that we have some Input Service Bill of the Period before Dec also.

WHETHER SERVICE TAX IS APPLICABLE FOR MANAGERIAL SERVICE PROVIDED BY ONE COMPANY TO IT'S FELLOW COMPANIES ON REGULAR BASIS?
