Dear Sir,
Suppose service provider in case of work contract, charges service tax on the 40% of gross amount. Rest 60% amount is called as exempted amount
or
it would be called as abetment ?
Please clarify.

Dear Sir,
Suppose gross amount is Rs. 1000/- and service tax charged on 40% of gross value - 400*14%= Rs. 56.00. Now we have collected Rs. 28/- from customer under RCM.
Now I want to ask that which way is correct for filing st-3

1. Gross amount 400/- service tax 7% tax value Rs. 28/-
2. Gross amount 1000/- now which abetment or exemption I should claim to get deducton of Rs. 600/- from gross amount?
Please advise me.
Its urgent.

respected sir/mam,

Guide me about the applicability of service tax on renting of warehouse for agricultural produce. While searching about the matter i came to know about the Notification No.8/2002-S.T. dated 01/08/2002, which states that mere renting of warehouse is not warehousing. If so it will not fall under the negative list. But the notification is old and was applicable on inclusive list of service tax. Please guide me whether it is applicable in present scenario.

Need expert advice in below situation... "A" is a taxable service provider who provided taxable services to "B" in Mar'15 and the same is acknowledge by "B". "A" didn't raise any invoice within 30 days and also not received any kind of consideration from "B". Now " A" wants to raise the invoice in relation to the service provided in Mar'15. My query is what should be the rate of tax? either 12.36% or 14.5%. Is it true that POT rule 4 has overridden effect over rule 3 in the given situation as tax rate has changed from 12.36%to 14%and then 14.5%. Will there be any interest payable in the given situation? if yes then from which date it will be calculated?
