hello everyone

the last date for submission of service tax return is 25th April 2009, but it is on Saturday can it possible to file on 27th of April 2009,

if yes are there any circular or notification

plz help me

according to new circular, rate of service tax effective from 24-2-09 is 10.30%,

if bill date is 24-2-09 or thereafter for the services rendered before 24-2-09 what rate of tax should charged?

A Partnership Firm is purchasing chemicals from a limited company which is sold in transit to another entity i.e sec.6(2) sales the format of invoice is follows:

Basic Price xxxxxx
Excise xxxxx
Education Cess xxxxx
H.E.C xxxxx
Sub-Total xxxxxxxxxxxxx
CST xxxx
Sub-Total xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Freight xxxx
Grand Total xxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Freight is paid by the buyer.

There are two questions:
1.Whether Tax is to be deducted u/s 194C for the freight paid?
2.Whether the buyer being not the consignee is liable to pay service tax under Transport of goods by road as a service receiver.

As per the recent Delhi High Court order , the service tax on renting of immovable property has been held uncostitutionaland a stay has been granted to the renters.
Does that mean that we can stop paying service tax to the govt.???
We are the landlords and our tanents has refused to pay the tax as it is not in our lease agreement and that time this tax did not exist.
Please advice if we can stop paying from our pocket and what could be the consequences????

Please tell me , for which services Service tax registration is compulsory and what is the procedure? Is there is any limit like Rs. 8lac gross income?

We have depoisted monthly service tax payable on renting of immovable property.
By mistake on each challan we have mentioned A/C Head of tax "00420496" instead of "00440406".
Now, department is refusing to take monthly return saying that your service tax not deposited in respective account. and we have not received service tax.
What remeady is available?
Please guide.
