Ashim Agarwal


My client is rendering professional services and his gross receipts are in excess of Rs.10 lakhs i.e. above the exemption limit.

He has a service No. AA..... ST001 in the name of his proprietorship firm

He receives rent for commercial property. Since as an assessee he has already crossed the exemption threshold, he would be liable for ST on the rental income received in his personal name.

Querry
Should he apply for a separate ST No. by giving a different address. In this manner his number will become AA..... ST002

Can he use his existing ST Code for the rental income. Pls remember that the registration is in the name of his proprietorship firm while the rental income would be received in his personal name.

As per budget 2008 4 ner services become chargable to service tax, one of which is "CUSTOMISED SOFTWARE".

As per case of "TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES", any software sold Whether in CDs or floppy or by any other mode, Central sale tax will be charged.

Now my query is what is difference between these "software" n "customised software" please explain with example.
