Dear Experts,

We had done a contract of fire fighting instalation for our building for more than 1 Crore in 2011. and made running payments to contractor around 90 lacs upto 31/3/13. He issued invoice of Rs.56 Lac in March 12. Now he want to do balance invoice. My questions are:

1. Wheterh reverse charge will be applicable on old contracts i,e contracts prior to July 2012.

2.Whether we need to pay service tax on all balance payments under reverse charge.

3.Can the contractor issue separate invoices for material and services..

4. If yes in point 3 what about our service tax liability under reverse charge.

Thanks a lot in advance to all experts

I have started a NEW A.C. Restaurant in April 2013.When should i get myself registered under service tax,When my sale crosses 9 lakhs or right now?Or in next financial year if sale of 2013-14 exceeds 9 lakhs?

a company need to pay service tax as service recipient due to reverse charge which is applicable from July 2012. Due to some reasons they have not registered with ST authority. Now they get registered in April 2013 and deposited the applicable taxes and filed the return for the period JULY 2012 to SEPT 2012 on 30th April 2013, being the extended due date. But the system rejected the ST-3 return filed with the remark that "SYSTEM DOES NOT ALLOW FILING OF RETURN FOR PERIOD PRIOR TO THE DATE OF REGISTRATION".

Pl advise us how the assessee can file its return as the assessee want to comply the provision by depositing and filing returns for the applicable periods even though registration is late.

As per Services Tax Negative list, services tax on process amounting to manufacture is exempt.
Whether there is any provision under services tax/ Excise LAw laws that such processes will be taxable in case such process has been done for a manufacturer(principal) having Area based Exempt unit [Excise exempt unit for 10 years].
There is lot of controversy someone says that it will be taxable.

Pl. give comments.

Thanks

We are pvt ltd co.. We have taken bus on hire from an agency for daily sending of employees from office to our plant and vice-versa. The agency is giving bill stating that service reciever is resposible for paying service tax under notification 30/2012 dt. 20.06.2012. Please tell me whether hiring bus for only employees will also come under that notification and are we responsible for ST.As that notification is for transport of goods and not for employees.
