In case it can be taken then at what percent?

dear sir,

we are clearing and forwarding agents normally we received some transportation bill from transporter and we paid the service tax as per RCM after taking abatement

so i have a query related to this ( for ST - 3 from april to september ' 2013 )

1) we paid ST under RCM for the month of July, august and September'2013 in the month of october '2013 with interest

service tax on GTA paid we can take cenvat with other head of services after payment, on the basis of challan

but in st - 3 shall i show these paid figure for july aug and sep in cenvat on the other hand i know that cenvat is available on the basis of payment ( in this case ) , but i am confused because where to show in return ,

in first half year ( from april to sep'2013 )
or in second half year ( oct to march' 2013 )

bacause

the payment is related to april to sep return so shall i show these figure in st -3 (if yes than where in cenvat column and in which month )

or
it should be comes on 2nd half yearly return from oct to march' 2013 because payment made on october month

please suggest

In BANGAR, Negative List of Services, only Services by RBI are included, that means services to RBI are taxable, however solution to June 2013 IDT Paper of ICWAI say that- "the Reserve Bank of India have been granted exemption from payment of Service Tax both- as a Service Provider as well as a Service Recipient"

Can you tell me which is correct?

Now because of labour problem in industry, they closed the business on 25th September, 2013. They have repaid advance receipts with service tax to their customers for which services were not given to customers. My querry

1 ) They have paid service tax in April, 2013 & in July, 2013 in bank because they have received in advance for which services are yet to be given. It means that the services still have not been given to customers. My client has to re pay all receipts with Service Tax to customers.

One of our clients provides Technical Advice to various clients. Some are located in India & some are abroad. After visiting factories & plants of clients, our client advises on technical aspects & then furnishes them 2 types of Bills- One for Consultancy Charge & other for reimbursement of Traveling & Hotel Expenses, including Air Tickets when he visits a foreign country.

Does his service get covered either under Negative List or under Exempt service?

If not, is the service given to Foreign Clients taxable? ( He gets his fees in convertible foreign exchange in India.)
