DEAR SIR,

A COMPANY\FIRM NOW SERVICE PROVIDER BUT IT KNOW THAT THEY CROSS LIMIT RS. 10 LAKH.WITHIN TWO OR THREE MONTHS
IN THIS CASE IT IS LIABLE TO PAY SERVICE TAX ON RS. 1 TO 10 LAKH.

In the state of Maharashtra there is standard deduction in work contract, so can we adopt the same in service tax as standard deduction mentioned in VAT act.

Rs.100/- is the Work contract value

then vat to be paid on Rs. 70/- and service tax to be paid on Rs. 30/-
this can be treat as service value.

in the case of service tax, they also given the standard deduction 40%, 60%, and 70%.

but this is not the correct piture. goverment is taking the benefit of this. so I feel that standard deduction would be same in VAT act and Service tax act.

please let me if any case in this regards.

we are in receipt of service tax notice prescribing for payment of penalty for non filing of return? my question is that
If value of service is below threshold limit then is it necessary to pay the service tax & file service tax return for the same year?
If penalty is imposed for the same reason the n is there any sufficient grounds or provisions to waive that penalty under service tax act?
Please guide me.
