We are receipt of a letter from Cargo service provider that they would not be charging service tax in our bill as we fall under seven category under GTA, could you kindly clarify the following points:-

1) They have mentioned seven categories of person (What are they, and how do we fall under it)

2) If they are not charging service tax, should we pay service tax to govt?

3)We are service provider registered under Management,Maintenance or Repair Service(MRS). We used to take credit of service tax, now if we pay then how do we take credit?

Hence I request you spare your valuable time and provide the much required clarification.

Hi,
I have a franchisee from leading brand for Advance computer courses. I pay royalty to them on fees collected from students. There are two points of service tax :

1) Service Tax on Royalty which I know is necessary to be paid to the Franchisor
2) But I am not sure if I myself need to charge Service Tax from Students since I am sure my collection will be below 10 Lakhs limit. I was told by my friend that I would be required because I am a franchisee. If my institute was unbranded then only I can use 10 Lakhs limit.

Please advice..

Thanks
Ashish
