I just signed up for a duplex house in hyderabad. The actual cost of the house is 50Lacs (PlotCost+CostofConstruction=9,33,000+40,67,000). Now the builder is charging ServTax@4.12% on 40,67,000=1,67,560/- and VAT@4% on 42,34,560(40,67,000+1,67,560)=1,69,382. The ST+VAT component is totalling to 3,36,942/-. Is this calculation correct??

As per my understanding of ServTax according to this link http://in.rediff.com/getahead/2005/aug/03tax.htm.

The Statement:
"With effect from June 16, 2005, exemption has been provided up to 67% of the gross value of services provided by the builder. Hence, service tax would be charged on 33% of the gross value."

33%*40,67,000=13,42,110/-. So ServTax=4.12%*13,42,110=55,294/-.

1.Is the above (55,294)calculation correct?? If not
pls explain in detail.

2.ServTax is mentioned as 12.36% in all matters, then how come its being charged as 4.12%? On what basis is this figure reached?

3.Am I being charged inappropriately by the builder??

4.When I was talking to another builder he told that VAT was charged at 1% and not 4% and that too it needs to be paid at the time of registration, so he asked me to reinquire again with the builder i'm signing up wiht. This put me in a BIG DILEMMA, as to whether i'm being taken for a ride or is everything fair.

5.My builder is insisting that I pay the ST & VAT by the time of 1st installment release of the bank loan.

6.The house is still under construction (70%complete), so am I still liable to pay ST/VAT at this stage itself or can I pay after taking possession of house, alongwith registration?

Sorry if i'm asking too much, as i'm not familiar with all these terminology. Just started reading articles on these and confused, until I came across this site. I hope my clarifications are answered in best interest of me.

i have crossed limit of rs.10,00,000 this uyear if suppose i dont cross limit of Rs. 8,00,000 in the next year than shall i requried to pay service tax if i have not collected the same and am i liable to collect the same or not

A Pvt Ltd Co. is registered under service tax. The head office of the company is in delhi.The company has unutilised cenvat credit of Rs. 10,00,000.

The company has also taken a service tax number in mumbai.and providing service, but the co. is no where registered under R.O.C
now the company wants to change its registered office from delhi to mumbai for which petition is filed in court.

So How should a company utilise its unutilised cenvat credit.

Plz state sections and rules also so that the answer can be proved
NOTE:
As per Rule 10 of cenvat credit rules,can we say THIS A MERGER?

We use transport services in providing output services(bss).And we paid service tax on behalf on transporter after taking abatement of 75 %.

My question is

2]Also can we take input credit of such service tax paid on GTA.

Now we have done agreement with other proprietor firm to purchase online test product (psychometric test) with support services for promote to our business. Now we want to pay rs. 75,000/- as per agreement. It will be attract any type of tax liability/TDS.

Hi,

Whether service tax is chargeable on the sale of Recharge Coupons. Acutally the coupons are purchase at a discount and sold to the retailers.

Thanks

Would the threshold exemption limit of Rs.10 lacs p.a. be available for company which has imported services given that there is no taxable service during that year, if the answer is no then should service tax liability be discharged on the import of service (assuming the service imported is taxable)

Whether a company engaged in the business of consumer finance (Giving retail loans)can claim Cenvat credit in respect of service tax paid on Brokerage on sale of shares of other company on the stock exchange.So whether such brokerage comes within the definition of Input service as defined under Cenvat Credit Rules 2004.

Hi,

I wanted know whether a person already registered under service tax, should obtain a separate registration under excise if wants to avail excise duty paid by him on goods purchased (for proving output service) as input credit, to utlize the same towards his service tax liability.
