Hi,

I just started a trading organization representing foreign suppliers in India. The sale happens directly between the Indian buyer and the foreign supplier. Since, we facilitate the transaction we get agency commission on each sale. This commission is directly transferred from our foreign supplier to our Bank Account.

We want to know whether there is any service tax applicable for such agency commissions??

Please note, our foreign supplier transfer payment in terms of % of the sale value and hence we cannot charge any service tax to them.

Kindly clarify?

Dear Experts,

We are 100% EOU and hence we do not charge any Service Tax for services provided to our clients abroad.

However, we end paying huge ST to our vendors, professionals etc.

Can I claim any refund of these ST paid or I have just treat this as an expense in my books.

In future, we will be having revenues from Domestic services and in that case we will be charging ST for these clients.
Hence, I believe we will be able to set off ST paid and recd later.

Kindly clarify on the above matter and also my thinking abt the future set off.

Dear Experts,
One of my clients is doing business of selling prepaid mobile phone vouchers. The MRP mentioned in the voucher is inclusive of service tax. The purchase bill value is inclusive of service tax of the MRP. That is the difference between the MRP AND PURCHASE BILL is only the fixed percentage of commission.
For example,
MRP–(Price Rs.100 + S.Tax Rs.12.36) - 112.36
Less:Purchase Price(Rs.90+ST Rs.12.36) - 102.36
(here the st is on Rs.100) ---------
Profit ( ie. Commission ) - 10.00
---------
My Query is whether any service tax is again payable on commission amount of Rs.10? How half yearly return is to be filed ie whether Nil return?
Thanks in advance
