U/s 80 of Finance Act- Penalty u/s 76 & 77 shall not to be imposed if the assesse proves that there was "reasonable cause" for failure.
Case of my Client-
1. my Client is civil sub-contractor in a reputed public limited company. He is providing mainly works contract service to main contractor.
2. As per work order received & signed by both parties, Service tax shall be extra over and above the rate mentioned in WO.
3. My client did not charge any Service tax and did not issue any tax Invoice. Hence he did not deposit the same even he did not get himself registered in FY 2012-13.
4. Main Contractor has processed his bill mentioning Service Tax as ZERO. Copy of WO & all processed bills are available. Processed bills mean copy given by Main contractor to sub contractor mentioning ITEM WISE details of work done.
5. In FY 2013-14, he got himself registered and start charging Service tax & paying the same.
6. Notice received for FY 2012-13 for non payment of Service Tax.
Please suggest, on ground of facts that a) he was of belief that no ST will be payable if he has not claimed the same from Service Recipient & Service Recipient has not paid the same. Same can also be established from WO & copy of processed bill received from Service Recipient b) since he has not issue any tax Invoice, no CENVAT has been taken by main contractor
Can it be established that such failure is due to "Reasonable Cause"

What is the tax implication on transportation charges when I incurred transportation charges on behalf of client, at that point of time we have paid service tax on transportation charges under reverse charge mechanism on the value of 25% .

but when we reimbursed it from client and show as sales at that movement whether we should charge service tax on it or not.

Ex.

Transportation charges paid to Goods transport agency Rs. 60,000
ST on value of 25%(i.e.60000*25/100*12.36/100) Rs. 1854


Sales bill to client
Goods value Rs.5,00,000
Transportation sales Rs.60,000

service tax 14% after the budget 2015 but we have some queries what is the Education cess and higher education cess . I thing every thing is inclusive in the 14%.

Am i right or not . ?
