One of my Client is a Private Limited Company engaged in construction of Flats and Sell them. The Company takes abatement and pays service tax @30% of 15% (i.e) 4.5%. including the value of land.

Whether the company can take CENVAT credit on input services like architect services, Service tax paid on painting contracts, service tax paid on electrical contracts etc.

Keeping in mind the definition of Input service under CENVAT credit rules which states specified services.

Whether the company can take CENVAT credit on the services tax paid on the input service?

Kindly Clarify.

Is the exemption limit of Rs.10 lacs applicable from gross amount of bill raised or net taxable services after abatement.

For example: If a contractor raises a bill of Rs.30 lacs in a year on account of construction of building. Is he liable to pay service tax as the taxable service is Rs.9 lacs (i.e 30 lacs - 70% abatement). He doesn't have any other receipt for the financial year.

A software development business has made export of services from 2011 to 2014 ,IEC registration has been obtained in the year 2014 and no registration is been done in DGFT or STEP.So is my export services disallowed on the grounds that the Company has no IEC or STEP or in DGFT in the year 2011 to 2014.

After that when candidate serve the company for minimum 3 months than the company will pay to my client a handsome amount per candidate. My question is that it should be registered in which category or multiple categories????

So now my question as it this service comes under reverse charge so whether we are require to deposit the service tax if yes then whether input credit is available or not?

Dear Experts,

I am running a recruitment consulting firm registered under proprietorship.
In this industry clients generally delays the payment or some bills get cancelled if the candidate leaves within the replacement period i.e. 3 months to 6 months.
In that case how should I claim back my service tax amount paid against the said candidates bill.
Kindly advise..
