One of our client had booked a residential flat under construction in June 2010 and made booking payment of Rs. 30,00,000/-. He was provided with allotment letter. However, agreement is not made till date. The total value of the flat is Rs. 1,10,00,000/-. He has paid remaining amount in installments as calculated by the builder in which he had charged service tax @ 3.708%. However, from 1st June, 2015 onward, the builder is charging service tax @ 4.2%. Is he correct in charging revised rate of service tax?

Sir ,
as per new rules the rate of service tax is 14% n there is no sc , shec .
then if there is required to pay interest on service tax , then interest is calculated @18% without sc n shec or 18% + 2% on sc and 1% shec.= 18.54%

Please confirm Service Tax rate applicable for Cleaning Services.

Dear Experts
Our Company engaged in a business of commission on Air freight (We collect the Perishable items from various part of the market in one city Ex., Bangalore and Forward these items to Other city Ex., Delhi to the actual Buyers of this goods where this buyers not directly connected with Freight Forwarders) Here we just act as a Commission Agents. When we dispatch the item to Freight Forwarders they raise AirWay Bill in the name of Buyer or Consignee located in Delhi. But they Bill/Invoice to us fortnightly on our Company Name. daily when we receive Airway Bill, we i.e., our Company raised the invoice to buyer or Consignee located in Delhi showing the details of Actual Freight Charges as Reimbursement Expenditure which is collected from buyer or consignee located in Delhi & Separately showing the commission on the invoice. Here we are not collecting service tax on Reimbursement Expenditure but collecting Service Tax on Commission only
We have doubt about service tax on reimbursement expenditure of above transaction which is allowable or not. If it is allowable then no need to pay service tax on freight charges? Please clarify.

Dear Sir,

According to new amendment for delayed payment of service tax w.e.f 01.10.2014 interest rates are modified i.e:
Upto six months = 18%
Beyond six mths to one yr = 24%
More than one yr = 30%

Now I want to know if due date of payment of service tax is 05.01.2015 but actually we are paying in July'15 then no. of days for calculating interest will be from
1. 05.01.2015 to 05.06.2015= 18%
2. 06.06.2015 to 06.07.2015= 24%

OR

1. From 05.01.2015 to 31.03.2015 = 18%
2. From 01.04.2015 to 06.07.2015 = 24%
