Sir ,
Processing on goods supplied by the manufacturing unit is exempted vide noti.no.8/2005 vide explanation II .But here meaning of supply is to be interprated more in case if the factory is spread over in Big area and it given work to someone for processing on job basis i.e.completion of work basis and billing by the service provider on the completion of work basis on monthly basis.the factory is clearing the processed goods ultimately by paying duty to excise department.as the act has mentioned that service tax will not be liable he service provider make process on the goods supplied by the manufacturer and he pay the excise duty after processing of goods .
In the present case the movement of raw mat./semi finish is in the premises itself whether it will meant as supply of goods ?
my e-mail id is gargbk2001@yahoo.com

Please help me.

If the service tax department has issued the notice under section 77 (c) for the clarification of the payment made to a contractor towards construction contract and if the party does not reply within period allowed what are the consequences.

Is there any chances of getting waiver of penalty applicable.

Dear Sir,
We are to provide laiason and logistic support services for a foreign company.
a) Can we raise an invoice in USD to the foreign company.

b) Is service Tax @ 10.3% applicable.

Regards
S. Anand

Suppose I have a bill with service tax.
Service charge AAA
Service tax @10.30% = BBB

[ Cess has not shown separately in bill].

If I book the bill in the same way and cess not book separately... is there any problem?

Separately booking of cess is mandatory or not?
If I book cess with service tax basic amount but shown service tax basic amount and cess separatly in service tax return then what will be the result?

In view of the Delhi High Court's decision of holding service tax on commercial rental as unconstitutional, how do we go about this in Andhra Pradesh? Service Tax is a central tax and uniform through out India.

Dear All,

"Every assessee should raise an invoice/bill within 14 days of rendering service, indicating the value of service and service tax payable. "

If the invoice is not raised within 14 days, but at a later date, what will be rate at which service tax is to be charged.

For example:

Service was rendered on 25th January 2009.
Invoice was raised only on 2nd March 2009.

What is the S.Tax rate that is to be charged - 12.36% or 10.3%?

Kindly reply at your earliest.


With regards,

Saranjha.

Hi experts,

Our Auditor has charged service tax on professional fees( Related to filing form A under Sick industries act), Xerox charges, and travelling expenses. Please not that he has raised individual bills for all of the three services (?) above.

The Tax law says

"Value of Taxable Service:
In the case of practising Chartered Accountant, Practising Cost Accountant and Practising Company Secretary– “Value of taxable service shall be the gross amount charged by the service provider for such services rendered by him.” (Section 67 of Finance Act, 1994 as amended)". Further to add, the law defined the taxable services can be provided by a Chartered accountant, and I believe the above said service is not falling under the tax net.

Is the tax charged by the auditor for reimbursement of Travelling exp. and xerox charges is correct. Pls clarify with possible arguement.

Thanks.

On getting some clarifications from the panel of Experts of this forum, yesterday, I had approached the Service Tax Department and I had been categorically told as under
1. Once the revenue of any Member's Club at any point of time crosses the threshold limit, ( and it is available to the Club), it has to pay Service Tax on the entire revenue and not on the difference amount that exceeds 10 lakhs.

2. The Club has been ear marking some portion of the Revenue (Donations) towards Building fund account and treated it as Donation to Building fund since 1998 as provided under the Bye-laws of the Club. The department argues that this would be treated as Mandatory Donation and would also be taxable revenue.

Whatever we had been doing (computing the income)during the past years, we have been asked to continue to do so . The Club has been treating the entire receipts as its revenue and paying ST since 2004. All along the revenue exceeds the threshold limit has not been utilized

Please clarify whether the stand taken and cleared by the Department is true? Please throw some lights on the subject and give us your valued opinion on the matter that will enable us to further proceed or drop the the entire matter
