When a dumb pontoon barge (floating marine craft) is taken on charter service tax is applicable and owner charge service tax. We have been advised by our consultant that marine craft taken on charter with manpower it will attract service tax and if it is dry charter without manpower it attracts sales tax. Is it correct that VAT is applicable in such deals.? If so whether service dept later on demand service tax? Does rule permit charging both VAT and Service Tax?
If VAT is applicable what is the percentage?

I have a query regarding servicetax on rental income to co-owners.

Explanation of the case:
mother and daughter has co-ownership in one building. they made rental agreement
with reebok show room in 2008-09 onwards,with rent of rs 120000 per month to both of them.

tenants are deducting TDS to both co-owners separately and paying rental income through cheques separately,to each of them indivisually rs 60000 per month.

indivisual shares are not attracted to service tax but togater rental income is attracting service tax,recently they got notice from CBEC to show all the details of rental income from FY 2008-09 to FY 2012-13.

IS THEY ARE LIABLE TO PAY SERVICE TAX?

Please provide a clarification regarding this case.

Thank you.

Hi All
Our company is a service provide. e are registered under Erection,commissioning & Installation. Now is is 70%60% & 40% Billing. We are billing to other parties like this percentage. We are taking services from other parties. and they are charging service tax to us. But we are charging maximum 70% service tax to other co. because we are in abatement service. My question is can we take CENVAT credit of service which we are paying to other parties.

If A firm Fall under goods transport ageny/goods transport by road not registered under service tax and same not paid st during the last year what will be a penalty imposed ?

Any income tax dis-allowance in expences ?
