'WE' received a debit note from a vendor for service tax paid on security services provided by him before taking registration under Service Tax.

Can we avail credit of service tax paid by us to security agency ?

A gentleman is providing turnkey consultancy for setting up a
school. In my opinion, as a Consultant he needs to collect and
deposit service tax related to the service. When he approached the
service tax authorities for registration, he was advised by an
officer that as he is rendering consultancy for an educational
activity he need not collect and deposit service tax. Therefore, he
need not seek registration. I am not sure if that is the correct position as per law.

The school project is educational in nature, but a person who is
rendering consultancy to set it up on turnkey basis is involved in a
normal commercial activity and should therefore collect and pay
service tax.

I would be grateful if our learned members could give their opinion
on the issue.

Dear sir / madam: who ever it is.
I am a CPT student and now I am in the articles period.Coming to the point,

One of the basic assumption in the Accounting policies is Accrual basis of accounting. My doubt is that "Service tax is paid on the actual amount received", which means mercantile basis. Is this not violating the assumption?

dear all,
An assesse files his service tax returns in year 1(say) since he is registered(i.e. the value of taxable services provided by him has exceeded rupees seven lakhs) and the value of taxable services provided by him is in excess of rupees eight lakhs.Now if in year 2,3 and 4 the value of taxable services provided by him does not exceed rupees eight lakhs then is he liable to file his service tax returns in the 5th year.is there any clause stating that if for three consecutive years the value of taxable services provided by an assess is less than rupees eight lakhs then he may NOT file his service tax returns in the fourth year? If yes then please give me the exact reference of the said clause in the ACt or Rules or any notification. My mail id is divinetaneja@gmail.com.
