A Service provider in the nature of outsourcing employees (in its rolls) to its client(employees working at client place), raises invoice for salary of its employees working in its client place (salaries paid by service provider & reimbursed by client). Can they charge service tax on the salaries(includes pf& esi) or just on the service charge they levy? Both are charged in the same invoice.

Hi all,

Kindly clarify on the below issue.

I own service apartments. I raise invoices on customers inclusive of service tax. I charge service tax on the whole amount of rent without deducting municipal taxes paid and collect the service tax.

While remitting the same to the government, I deduct the corporation tax from the rent and compute service tax and remit the same.

Can I Do so? What is the remedy for the same. should i refund back the excess amount collected to the customers

Pls reply to ma queries

My client is a Commission Agent for the manufacturing company, he only receives the commission after getting claring the payments from the customers. The manufacturing company raise the invoices to his customers and gets the payments after the credit period (say 45 days). The commission agent raise his bill only after clearing the payments by the cusomter to his manufacturing company. My doubt is, for the invoices raised during the month of Jan-09, the commission agent raise the bill only during Mar-09, what is the service tax rate applicable, is it 12% or 10%
