Whether the service tax authority can held liable under ser.tax for manpower recruitment agency although he is not providing labour . moreover B is assessable under excise and he is also paying excise duty on the material processed by A .
I have produced all the copies of bills and form 16 A AND bank account with ledger in the books of B and after receing my reply the authority asked the details from B and B has confirmed the fact also by his submission to the authority that A is doing job work for us for which we are making payments .

1. Is donation in any form money or materials from its members of a Club for construction of their own building exempt from Service Tax?

2. My Club's income is Rs. 16 lacs. Is the base limit of 10 lakhs for exemption available to us? I mean whether the Club has to pay ST on 16 lacs or 6 lacs (It has been paying ST on full value since the introduction or ST)

3. Suppose, if we have paid excess ST how to get back the amount from the Govt?

Dear Sir,

Thanks.

Company A is registered under centralised registration at Ahmedabad. It has two branches at other two places viz. Mehsana(B) & Anand(C). It has centralised accounting system. Whether the branches are required to be registered as input services distributor if services are received at branches or company can take credit of input services directly. If Company can take credit directly then whether billing of input service is required to be addressed at H.O i.e Ahmedabad.

Thanks in advance.

a service provider renders installation and maintenace service to its japanese holding co's indian clients.
the payment is received in foreign currency, order is received from outside india.
Will it be conseidered as acase of delivered and used outside india?
can the service be considered as export of service?

Whether market associations and co-operative service societies are liable to pay service tax on Maintenance Charges collected by them from members?
The said amount is utilised for the purpose of maintaining common facilities like lift, security, electricity, parking facility etc.

Whether there is any exemption limit available to them like Rs 3000/pm or less in case of Residential Co-Op Socities.

If freight bearer whether consigned or consignee pay service tax directly to GTA. It is violation of rule [(1)(d)(v)]. If is violation of law then please let me know further remedies of it.
