There are three companies operating in a same premises. There are some common expenses incurred by one company. Nature of expenses are 1) Printing and stationery
2)office maintenance 3)telephone expenses etc.

My question whether the company in whose name the billing has been received from vendor can "issue debit note to other compnay".
There is no criteria of distribution of expenses

If the Debit note can be issued then whether SERVICE TAX would be applicable for the issue of debit note.

I am having a rental income from commercial property of Rs. 1 lakhs per month as well as from residential flat Rs.5000/- per month so service tax is to be paid on both the rents or only on commercial property and could you please tell me from when I have to pay service tax and what is the interest and penalty for late payment. I have not paid service tax till now.

Thanks.

We are in construction indusrty. We receive water by water takners. Whether we are liable to serivce tax on water supllies under GTA. As per the defenition of GTA one who provides transport services in resepect of Goods by road & issued consignment notes. Since water suppliers are supplying their goods to our site in their own vehicles (may be hired, but we are not paying any charges in the name of transportaion) & they are not issuing any consignment note. In my view water supplier are not GTA & we are not laible to Service tax. They do not show water charges & transport charges separately in their bills.Can anybody clarify the position.

Dear All,

We are a consultancy firm and while charging the client there are two parts 1. Contract Value 2. Service Tax
The Client is deducting TDS on the total amount Invoiced by us.
Please tell me should the client deduct TDS on the Contract Value or the total value which includes Service Tax

If a contractor raises an invoice in which he charges services tax for his services as well he also charges for vat for material he supplied.for example
manpower supply Rs 100
service tax 12
ES .24
HES .12
Total 112.36
material supply 100
vat @4% 4
Total 104
and both vat and services tax is eligible for credit .
Is this bill is valid or not ? or he has to prepare saperate invoces for service tax and vat.

In case of an Educational Institute, registered for service tax purposes, executes different educational programmes from the financial support (90%) of a Ministry of Government of India and students (10%).

Funds are received by the Ministry under grants-in-aid, and individual projects are approved based on the detailed proposal with budget submitted by the Educational Institute.

After the Registration, first proposal has now been submitted and Ministry on examinatioin has stated that service tax cannot be paid as financial support is given by the Ministry from Grants in aid and it is not a commercial transaction.
Educational Institute has stated that since it is payable by receipient of service and that it is collected for payment to Concerned Service tax authority of the GOvernment of India.

Query 1- Whether service tax is recoverable under these circumstances, if yes,
