We are manufacturer of pharmaceuticals products falling under chapter 30 and getting goods manufactured at our own plant as well as from various Loan Licenses.

Further, we are availing cenvat credit on duty paid inputs as well as on input services received by us at our own manufacturing plants. Also we are registered as Input Service Distributor at HO and availing Service Tax Credit on inputs services received by us and then we transfer such accumulated Service Tax Credit to our various own manufacturing plants for payment of excise duty.

At Loan Licensee’s end inputs required for manufacturing our goods are provided by us and cenvat credit is accordingly availed by them for discharging duty liabilities and deficit amount is provided to them which is deposited by them at their jurisdictional bank through GAR 7 and duty is paid accordingly on goods manufactured for us.

Query

1. Can HO of manufacturer transfer Service Tax Credit accumulated under ISD to Loan Licensee’s / Job Worker for payment of Central Excise Duty instead of funding by way of Cheque ?

2. If yes, then under what provisions of the law?

'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.

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?

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.
