Dear All

An order has been issued by high court in september which grants relief to reitalors from service tax. So is there any proof i.e any case number or any refrence code to prove this order issued by high court because everywhere the clarification is in form of an article given by different authors.wherein no refrence code is mentioned.

thx.

Director's remuneration is paid in the form of :-

a) Sitting Fee
b) Fixed monthly Remuneration, and
c) Commission.

The directors do not raise any bill for such remuneration and the remuneration is calculated by the company under permissible limits given as per company law. Is there any service tax liability on the above under the Management or Business Consultants Services / Business Auxiliary Services?

Is the treatment same in case of Nominee / Independent Directors?
