we have service tax bills in year 2013-2014 and cenvat is not taken in return filed for the period 2013-2014. can we take cenvat credit in the period april to september 2014? whether showing credit in the column of the april month in the st3 return will be sufficient compliance to claim cenvat credit. we do not have any liability as on date and want to carry forward the same.. also the rule of 6 months is applicable from 01.09.2014. So if we show all out cenvat credit in the months upto august 2014 can we get cenvat credit for entire earlier period?

please tell me that recent circular of TDS not to be dedcuted on Service tax will be applicable in this case

Dear All,

My Client is engaged in providing share trading advice and received fees around of Rs. 6 lacs from his clients last year.

He is also engaged F&O trading (for himself) and has earned a profit of Rs. 3.5 lacs last year.

As such, his business receipts (for income tax return purposes) cross 9 lacs.

Will his gross receipts for service tax purposes (i.e. registration limit) will also be considered at Rs. 9.5 lacs?

Is he liable to register under service tax?

Dear All,

A person receives gross consultancy fees of Rs. 8,50,000/- in the financial year. He also received rent of Rs. 2,40,000/- from letting out his roadside stalls. Will both receipts be considered for service tax limit?

Is he liable to register & charge service tax on these receipts?

Thanks & Regards,
