One of my client gets insurance commission from Main agent who is registered with Insurance Regulatory Authority of India, please tell if he is liable to pay service tax as he does not get commission from main agent. As per my information main agents who get commission need not pay service tax.

How Servicetax law will apply in this situation

Hi,

I had recently started my firm (sole proprietorship) and had applied for a service tax registration number. This was essential to get empanelled with customers and to open a bank account under the firm's name.

Since I've just started, the revenue is not sizable yet. I understand that I can apply for an exemption from service tax as long as the revenue is under 10 lacs, which will be the case.

I need to raise invoices for my clients. Considering Service Tax is exempt under 10 lacs but I have registered for a service tax no., do I need to necessarily charge the customers with S.Tax @14.5% or it is not required till the revenue is less than 10 lacs? I am asking this since it'll be difficult to charge this amount initially.

Please advice.

A Co. X which provides advertising services to its customer and charges lets say 100 and for providing that services it also takes services from publish co Y for which they charge as follow
Purchase 100
discount 15
Net amt paid 85
to Y
Now what Co X is doing that it is charging service tax on 15 i.e rate calculation that we are doing is 14.5-85%=2.175% and making entry in tally as follows:
Z(customer) 100
To Sales 97.825
To Service tax@2.175% 2.175
My Query is that whether we are doing correct or not and how to show the same in Service tax return ?
