An international forum charges its Indian clients a member ship fees like our own Capexil. Amount is paid in foreign currency. Is service tax is payable under 2 (1) (d) (iv)

Sir, I have query about the service tax on rent from immovable property. We have got a commercial building in Tuticorin and the first floor of the building is being given for rent to shipping liners and as it is a commercial purpose we are debiting service tax for the rent from them. In this my question is we are billing them Rent,Maintenance fee,Security fee and service tax calculated on the above three. But the tenent says that to calculate Service tax only from Rent and not to include maintenance and security fee in Service tax calculation and pointed out some high court verdict in this regard. So kindly may we request your good selves to give me a solution for this whether we have to calculate service tax only on
Rent or from rent,maintenance fee,security fee. Please clarify this to me.

housing soc. are not covered under service tax if the total collection is below 10 lacs or if monthly collection per flat is less than Rs. 3,000/-. what is included in this Rs. 3,000/-. i.e. municipal taxes, water charges, sinking fund, insurance etc are to be included or excluded/

Facts: A company (100% EOU)exports software services to foreign clients.
As per rule 4 of export of service rules 2005, the company does not pay service tax on the export of services.
As there is no output service tax "cenvat credit" on the services utilised is not taken to current assets in the balance sheet. Instead it is charged to the profit and loss account
Now the question is: For claiming the refund of service tax on input services from the department IS IT NECESSARY THAT CENVAT CREDIT ACCOUNT HAS TO BE SHOWN IN THE BALANCE SHEET. In any case, the company would be submitting the export invoices, FIRCs, bankers certificate and vendors bills like courier, audit fees, to the department for claiming the refund of service tax on input services.

Kindly clarify the doubt
