Hi

My sister has just started a recruitment consulting firm as a proprietor. She has already registered with service tax deptt.
In the last financial year, she managed to earn Rs 2 lacs on which she had even collected the service tax as per the rules. But now she got to know she does not need to pay service tax if the total income doesn't exceed Rs 10 lacs. Is it true?

What should she do with the service tax already collected? Also, she got to know that service tax payment can be adjusted with the service tax paid by self for various other services in the financial year.

For e.g - is it true that if she has collected Rs X as STax and paid Rs Y as STax (for phone bills etc) then her liability is only Rs X-Y.

Pls clarify. If she has to pay that amount then where should she go.

Awaiting an expert's reply.

Thanks

Dear Sir,

My query is that whether service tax charged by bank on commission is refundable from Central Excise under Notification No.41/2007 if the commission is charged on High Sea Sale documents.

However Department is refunding the service tax on commission in the case of export from India.

Hi All,

I want to know the change in rate of service tax on works contract i.e.4.12% from the date? w.e.f.

And 2.06% upto what period?

urgent.

There are several bill raised by Sahara Holidays for taxi hire charges on our company in which service tax also included,

but in these bill , Service tax deducted @4.12%,

so can our company take Service tax credit on such bill on which service tax @4.12% included rather that 12.36%.

One of our service provider (say, A)has paid to courier company (say, B) = Rs 11236/- (Rs 10000 + 1236 as service tax) for courier on our behalf. Courier Company has raised the bill in services provider's name. Now We have received a Bill for Reimbursement from the service provider for Rs 12136/- marking as reimbursement of expenses attaching the photocopy of courier bill paid by them.

Whether we can claim the cenvat credit on the service tax amount in such case?

I work in rice industry where the movement of paddy/rice take place within the premise. We have hired the cotractors for doing that task. Monthly bill of the contractor is around 4L in a month. Whether service tax is applicable on this. Further another contractor is hired who is also involved in that kind of work plus supplying some labour in our prodution. Whether service tax is applicable on this as well?
Kindly answer this query. It would be better if you mention the section under the respective Act.

Thanks
