Dear All

I have a doubt regarding filling of service tax returns

service provided by an assessee is under tax net but provider has got registration after one year on notices from dept and paid for prior year based on cum tax calculations and interest.

Now should the provider file return for such tax paid prior period for which he has no registration.

Please tell me In which month we can claim service tax input credit if invoice date in Jan-11 but payment made is In June-11.

Dear Sir,

One of my client is doing the business of selling cement packs to end users which were purchased from Cement Manufacturer directly. For the bulk purchases made, the trader is rewarded by the manufacturer in the name of commission after deduction of TDS.

Whether service tax is applicable to this Commission received by the trader.?

In case the person who is acting as an agent (who neither purchases nor sells)whether service tax applicable to this activity...?

Assessee is a Logistic company. The Company is charging and receiving service tax on some bills on which the service receiver is not ready to pay service tax directly to Govt as Service receiver. Company is not charging service tax on other bills as the person who pays freight is liable to pay service tax and they are discharging there liability. Whether to fill service tax return under Goods transport Agency Service or Goods Transport Operator Service in ST-3.

Dear Experts,

I have filled my director’s service tax return for period April 2012 to June 2012. . I was forgetting that this year service tax department allowed return for only first quarter not for half yearly. But in ignorance I have filled amount April 2012 to Sep 2012 instead of April to June 2012.

Now I realized my mistake when I ready to fill my second quarter return. I have tried to revise my return but not able to revised as it’s passed 90 days.

Kindly guide me what should I do, so I can revise service tax return. My director turnover is less than 10lacs.

Help me please…

Thanks
