Sir,

I got some services from the contractor and under the service tax act the service receiver needs to pay 75% of the service tax without any input of service tax ( Means the service payer charge only 25% of the service tax and the receiver will book expense of 75%.

Should I book through the journal voucher or is there any other way to book those expense

Thanks
Daman

Dear Sir,
One of my client has made payment for service rendered for the month of August, September and October in one challan. My query is how much amount to be shown while filing return of April to September and October to March.
Please advice.

if i have registered under service tax with the address of my head office in mumbai and we pay service tax of our branch too under same registration no. but at the time of registration of our branch we have not mentioned our mumbai address as registered office address. so do we have to register separately for our branch?

What would be the tax liability status,
while,
some flats are lying unsold & completion certificate has been obtained by the builder. Will these flats, as & when sold, attract service tax as the deptt. audit team has raised this objection in one case.
Their contention is that the phrase;" any consideration received before obtaining completion certificate will render service taxable", stands for whole of the project & not to every single flat/unit in isolation.

we have purchased import material. can we take service tax credit on reimbursement of expense paid by clearing forwarding agent behalf of our liability.



please clear ...my query
