My query is :
My client has a service tax registration number with a proprietorship firm let us assume "ABC". Now, he wants to close that service and add a new service but with a different proprietorship firm name. However address remains the same. Can I filed ST-1 as amendment in existing information or I have to apply for a new registration? Actually client dint file service tax return yet for few years and through amendment, procedure of surrender can be avoided.

Sirs,

We are an 100% EOU registered exporter. Hence we have no requirement for Service Tax / SaleTax (VAT) registration as we dont bill domestic.

Now We have planned to organise a training event and would be receiving registration fee and would be obliged to provide receipts. Should we have to deduct any sort of service tax/..... But we have no registration.

How could we treat the fee. Can anyone of you suggest on the situation.

Thanks
Samrat

Head Office being registered as ISD (Input Service Distributor)not providing any output Service, having five factories and having Service Tax Registration as service provider.
Expenses incurred at HO on Security Expenses, Advertisemnt,R &D etc and service tax paid on it can be transferred by HO to its Factories for getting the Cenvat Credit as they(Factories) are providing the Output service.
please advise that even the Service Tax paid on security Charges can be passed on to Factories by ISD, Since Advertisement and R&D costs may be said to be common cost but the same treatment should also to be given to the service tax paid on Security Expenses of HO.
Please advice.

This is to ask that, international cargo and courier company, are getting exempt from service tax upto my knowledge. I have come to know that any service which is provided on airport to airport basis..on a internationational front it doesnt come under purview of service tax. But this is never mentioned anywhere. Morever the service is in the nature of sort of clearing and forwarding international courier and cargo. Please clarify. Thanks in advance.

One of my client is an architect. she is working on a sub-contract basis with another architect. that is the only work she does. does my client has to charge service tax on her billings, as the main architect is already charging service tax to their cleint? i think there is some exemption for sub-contracts to architects.
