whether counterveiling duty paid on import of tradable goods can be set off against the service tax liablity in the same f.y.whethr other duties like basic duty,ed. cess and SHEcess can alsobe set off.

we are taking a materials from one party they charge excise on that bill but payment made third party 2 them but the excise bill our name.Third party collect excess amt from us should i get credit of excise. there is no contract note for that.

If a companey had huge amount of accumulated unutilised Cenvat Credit of Service Tax and in the year 2009-10 company decided not to show this amount under cenvat CreditRecoverable account as cuttent asset and want to charge whole amount to P & L account as Service Tax as expenditure. will this amount be allowable in the computation of Taxable Income (under Income Tax) as a deductible expenditure of this year or the amount pertaining to earliear years booked under Cenvat credit recovrable a/c will be disallowed as Inadmissible expenses being Prior Period.

Please Clarify anyone-

Whether service tax is applicable for Jobwork transactions (Between 100% EOU & DTA Unit):

1) We (100%EOU),will supply the materials to the Jobworker(DTA Unit) for Conversion Work and on completion of the work, they will return the finished goods.
2) Jobworker will raise processing bill for the jobwork.
3) Recently the excise authorities raise the above issue in another unit like us and requests to pay the ST on all kind of this jobwork transaction.
4) Is there any specific rule to charge the ST on Jobwork between 100% EOU and DTA Unit?
Thanks in Advance

Dear Sir
1)While I am placing a candidate, I have to incur Hotel Stay Expenses for conducting interview, I have to pay to the candidate reimbursement of his travel expenses i.e train or air fare etc. These are all the expenses will be incurred for and on behalf of the Client. The Client will repay the amount after producing the necessary bills to the client. Apart from that I will raise a proper service tax bill for the services rendered i.e placement cost to the client. That also the Client will pay. Since I am doing placement for higher position, it is become inevitable to do the same of entertaining these types of reimbursement of expenses, which normally the client has to undertake, on a good understanding between me and the client. The Client will ask us to do the same and reimburse it to me after production of bills.
Now my question is whether i have to pay the service tax for these reimbursement of expenses recd also? since i am a pure agent that's why i am asking this question. In this reimbursement of expenses I am not going to get anything. I am doing a post man work only.
I am fully paying service tax for my placement bill. And my bill to the client will not contain the reimbursement of expenses. The Reimbursement of Expenses will be submitted to the client, in the form of statement only, attaching with the necessary bills.
2)Some times I may be asked by my trade friend to share some of the expenses example sharing of data, for which the service provider will raise a service tax bill to me. I will share that bill to my trade bill, for which he will pay. Actually on this point we are the ultimate consumers on utilising the services of the service provider. Shall I have to pay the service tax for the amount given by my friend for sharing? since I am treating this also reimbursment of expenses?
3)Amount paid by the foreign client in foreign currency for reimbursment of expenses for placing a candidate to the foreign company. Is that Reimbursment of Expenses also is also Service Taxable?
kindly clarify

We are providing a service of Site preparation and formation to a unit. We are charging rate at per MT basis say Rs. 50/- per tonne. Additionally the unit is supplying us HSD free of cost at actual consumption rate of the equipments used at unit site.

My query is:
We should charge service tax on basis rate i.e. Rs. 50/- per tonne only OR

We should also charge service tax on HSD price supplied to us at free of cost.

The unit is of the opinion that HSD is reimbursement on actual basis and it's a material and doesn't cover in service, so we should not charge service tax on HSD.

Kindly provide your valuable suggestions with relevent notification / circulars.
