I am working in a proprietory firm. We were accounting professional fees and commission on supplies made on receipt basis. In Jan.13 we were known that we are going to cross the service tax limit of Rs.10,00,000/- in next month. So we have taken service tax registartion on 26.2.2013. After taking registration we have paid service tax from Feb.13. Whether it is correct or we have to pay service tax for full year that is April 2012 to March 2013

In case of goods transport agency, the person paying the freight is liable to pay service tax. But suppose the GTA charged service on transportation to its client. the suggested course of action would have been for the client to deduct service tax portion and pay the GTA only for the transportion and to deposit the service tax with the CG itself.

Query 1: What would be the consequences if the the client paid the GTA the full amount charged including the service tax wrongly charged and the GTA, not having any CENVAT credit avaialble, deposited the entire service tax so collecetd with the the Givt.?

Query 2: What would be the consequences and corrective course of action if the GTA used avaialable CENVAT credit to pay the said service tax so errorneously collected?

We are a CHA and also additionally provide transportation services. We are aware that in the case of services provided by a GTA, it is the service receiver i.e. person liable to pay freight whos is liable to pay ST. Now though the problem is that we have not charged our client separately for but the reimbursement for transport cost has been included in agency charges. Also we have books expenses for transport in our books. now the department is of the opinion that, since expenses was booked in our books and we have not separately charged the party for reimbursment of the same, we are the service receiver an hence out to have paid ST under reverse charge.

Do we have any defences against thsi contention of our department? Are there any caselaws available that could presented in our defense?

what is the Rate of service Tax on labour contract.
