A pvt ltd company trading in textile cloths is making an office.. the contract for materail and labour is given to a proprietorship concern. In the bill the contractor has charged service tax on 40 % of the bill amount. I want to know that works contract is applicable in this case ? If yes the 50% of service tax liabilty will be paid by service receiver ?

Service tax receiver is partnership firm and service tax provider is also partnership firm,
my question is
In case of Security service and Man Power Service , one partnership firm i.e (service provider) charge service tax on another partnership firm (service receiver) under reverse charge mechanism .

please clearify

There is a educational and charitable trust. It is receiving legal services from individual advocates. Now the question is that " whether the educational trust is covered under BUSINESS ENTITY under reverse charge?" .
Will it make any difference if trust is registered for renting of immovable property(commercial activity) under Service Tax and regularly collecting service tax from its tenants?

Whether service tax credit is available when payment for premium paid for policy taken of group gratuity scheme for employees to Lic?

If a company(Subsidiary) using premises of their Holding Company. The AMC charges like building maintenance , lift maintenance , security etc. are borne by Holding company and the bills are also in the name of Holding company, now if the subsidiary wants to borne the expenses their part and whether service tax will be applicable on this or not.
For e.g. if the total bill is 700000 Service tax 105000 the whole amount is paid by the Holding company to the service provider , out of this 200000 ST 30000 is the part of subsidiary company. If the Holding company claims 230000 from the subsidiary what would be the implications of Service tax in this case.
1. Can Holding company charge separately service tax amount in the reimbursement of 230000 as they are not the service provider here.
2. Can holding company treat the whole amount as reimbursement?

One client, registered under Service Tax Act, showed one service at the time of Registration.
Subsequently, he offered 4 different services, though he did not get these added to the certificate.
He paid Service Tax on all services & claimed input tax credit for all bills paid by him.
S.T.O allows input tax credit for only one services for which he is registered.
Is this action correct? if no, can we site any decided case?

Kindly advice.
