Dear sir , NGO services exempted or taxable ?

I have a contract with a foreign company to provide business auxillary services namely the expediting of export orders and product development services that are manufactured in an SEZ zone. A monthly invoice is raised and the payment is made via bank transfer as the foreign company has no presence in India. Though I am a registered service tax assessee and collect and deposit service tax and file returns, my reading of service tax exemption rules is that this service should be service tax exempt because the receiver of the service is outside the taxable territory (Rule 5) and more so this should come under export of services.In case my position is legally tenable what mechanism is available to claim the exemption as well as to file for a refund of the service tax already collected and paid?

Dear Experts,

One of my friend is doing a real estate business (under a firm name).

In his business he is doing purchasing and sale of plots, constructing building, selling houses, receiving commission for doing brokerage work?

Kindly which of the business(s) covered under service tax?

Thank you in advance

We are a group of friends, numbering Ten who have purchased land , registered in the name of all the members, by a single deed.We have constructed resedential flats,a five floor structure, on our own for self occupancy, without utilising services of any outside builder.
We have purchased material, hired labour and constructed flats on our own. We have not formed any formal association for the purpose.

Is service tax payable on the flats. If so what is the rate and basis? can any expert kindly clarify.

Thanks in anticipation.

Dear Sir,

We are an Auto Parts Manufacturing company. We are paying excise duty on all our final products. We are getting some in house job work (like bearing assembly & packing) done on our components on piece rate basis from a contractors. Contractor supplies labour for the job work at our plant and raises bill on piece rate basis. The Mega Notification 25/2012 in para 30 (c) says that any goods on which appropriate duty is payable by the principal manufacturer; if you are paying duty then no need to pay the service tax.
Please give your opinion whether we are liable to pay service tax under reverse charge mechanism or not ?

Thanks,
R.J.Dave.
