Dear sir,

We are into the business of cosmetics treatments , where service tax is applicable @14% .

WE came to know that one of our competitors is issuing invoices where service tax is not shown separately.

(1)They are showing TIN number on the invoice but not service tax number.
(2) There is a statement on bottom of invoice : Amount paid inclusive of taxes as applicable.

(3) As per one insider they pay partial service taxes as they divide revenue into material and service. And pay pay service tax on service part only.

(4) Please enlighten me , is their method legally correct ?

Thanks in advance.

I have received an Invoice from Manpower Supply Agency where Service Provider is an Individual and Service Receiver is a Corporate. Accordingly as per Reverse Charge Mechanism Company will pay Service Tax at 14% on behalf of Service Provider. Which one of the following is the correct accounting Treatment for the same.
Say For Eg. Invoice Amount is Rs. 30000
TDS at 1% Rs. 300
Service Tax 14% Rs.4200
1) Wages A/c Dr 30000
Input S.T. Deferred Dr. 4200
Manpower Supply agency Dr 300
To S.T. Deferred Payable 4200
To Manpower supply Agency 30000
To TDS payable 300
OR
2) Wages A/c Dr 25800
Input S.T. Deferred Dr 4200
Manpower Supply agency Dr 300
To Manpower supply Agency 30000
To TDS payable 300

So in short at what amount we will book the expense in Books of Accounts. At Invoice Value of at Invoice Value- S.T. amount.??????

I ran a small business. In the year 2004, i was informed that the service tax is to be imposed on the services provided. I obtained a ST registration and started collecting stax and submitting them and also filled returns. In the year 2006 , I closed my business and applied for surrender of ST registration with all relevant documents, accts, challan copies etc. I believed that the process was complete. I did not recieve any communication from the STax office regarding that.
In the year 2012, I was called for a hearing that the STax returns are not filed from year 2009. I went to the Superintendent and show him my surrender application made in 2006. He said me to create an online acct and fill all previous nil returns and do continue filling nil returns and apply online for surrendering the registration.
In 2015, a letter came from the Stax office to give all documents for suurendering and they want to proceed with the hearing and levy penalty for late filing of returns.

Please advise

I have a doubt regarding service tax under reverse tax. if we are receiving rent a cab from person who are not registered under service tax, how much service tax liability should we book under reverse charge.
As Service provider not registered under service tax, no question is arise whether they are taking abatement and also taking input service credit and cent-vat credit of capital,
As per my view ST should be booked 100%
Please Help me in this queries as soon as possible.
thanks In advance
