HI SENIOURS ! please help me out on this!
I HAVE A FOLLOWING QUERY .
"A FIRM IS MANUFACTURER OF POLES , PIPES ETC(VERY BULKY CONCRETE-MADE).IT TRANSPORTS THE SOLD GOODS TO ITS BUYERS AT THEIR OWN TRUCK NORMALLY AND CHARGES A FREIGHT FROM THEM.ACTUALLY THE SALE INVOICE SHOWS THAT THE AMT. OF FREIGHT IS ADDED TO INVOICE .
PARTY COLLECTS TOTAL AMOUNT INCLUDING FREIGHT FROM THE BUYER.
WHO WILL BE PAYING SERVICE TAX IN THIS CASE?

After the incorporation of ITSS under Service Tax Act , the dealers in softwares are charging both VAT and Service tax on sale of softwares and Licenses. Further in some states there is Vat even on sale of customized softwares. If VAT is already there on sale of softwares ( branded/ customized ) then how there can be service tax on sale of branded and customized softwares ?

Please clarify.

Furher is there any case pending before any of the high courts in India on validity of charging service tax on sale of Softwares(branded/ customized).

is service tax applicable on renting of immovable property?

I came to understand that the rate of Service Tax reduced from 12% to 10% with effect from 24.02.2009. I have been prepared the bill for the premises rented, on the last day of the month (in February it is 28.02.2009) and charged the service tax @10% for the whole month. Please let me know the rate charged is correct or not. My argument is that while preparing the bill the rate of tax is 10%.

Hi Everybody.

One of our client is providing design services. the services are exported outside india. In India, it is providing service to only one recipient , the service tax on which is small amount.

1. The issue is prior to 2007, it was rendering call centre services which is exempt from payment of service tax as per notification no. 8/2003. The client was not aware of this and was paying service tax on the same. What can we do with respect to this?
Can we claim refund/ rebate of the service tax amount paid on call centre prior to 2007? OR can it be carried forward?

2. Currently, the company has got huge input credit every year and its carrying forward the input credit from several years. The service tax liability of the company is negligible around in 000s where as the input credit is in lakhs. Cant we claim refund/ rebate of this amount as the case may be?
