Hi,
If invoice is raised in quarterly basis and the service tax rate has changed in last month of quarter then what is the rate of service tax.
For example:As per agreement the service period is March 20-June 19 .and invoice raised and payment received after service is provided then what is the rate of tax.

Hi All,

A client of mine is working as a freelancer and he has registered himself for service tax voluntarily. He was covered under export of services exemption earlier and hence was not liable to deposit any service tax, still he got himself voluntarily registered and filed NIL returns.

Now, he has started providing services to Indian clients as well from this year. My question is that should he start charging service tax from his clients right from the first invoice issued to an indian client for domestic services or should he wait till he crosses Rs. 10 Lacs taxable services (i.e. domestic services ) value and then start charging service tax ?

I am confused because I have read it a couple of times that if a person is voluntarily registered for service tax then he must start chargin and depositing service tax right from the first invoice.

Please help ... I could not find a solution to this query anywhere.

thanks

Our company had imported Material from China. and Test the same material from China ,bill of testing charges raised from china and payment of those bill given by us from india. Sir, My question is that can service tax is applicable on that that type of transactions.

Is there a liability to charge service tax when: An open air restaurant, which has no air conditioner or heater, has an air conditioner in the owners cabin. The cabin is not a part of the area where food is served to guests. Please support your opinion with a credible base.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have 2 questions on Service tax
a) Is it mandatory to file ST-3 return even when total turnover is below the threshold exemption (of Rs.10 lakhs)

Next is regarding the applicability of Notification no 33/2012.

b) If my yearly turnover is as follows:
Year 1 - 6 Lakhs
Year 2 - 12 Lakhs
Year 3 - 8 Lakhs
Year 4 - 7 Lakhs

In year 2 i will start paying ST and also in year 3 i have to pay ST since my previous year turnover is > 10L. But in year 4 am i required to pay ST?? since my PY turnover is < 8lakhs can i avail exemption under 33/12 or is that exemption available only once for an assessee???
Thanks in Advance
