I have a doubt regarding service tax and w.r.t to renting of motor vehicle

X pvt. ltd. is engaged in the business of leasing motor vehicles (cars basically). The lease agreements are primarily in the nature of operating lease. However X pvt ltd contends that since the vehicles are being given on lease, the same are not taxable under the "rent a cab" profile defined by service tax and hence no service tax is payable. Is the contention of X pvt ltd correct? If it is correct, then does such lease of moveable property become taxable under any other provision???

Provision Manpower service is under now reverse charge mechanism, service provider is liable to pay service tax on 25% value of service & service receiver is liable for service tax on 75% of value of services.

Now my question is, whether the service provider can take the benefit of SSP exemption for on his part of value of taxable service?

Dear Expert

Plz advise that, we have given contract regarding civil construction work of cement plat site,which is single main contractor. And contractor had charged under works contract service (without composition scheme). can we have take credit of service tax which is charged under this service(WC)

My Partnership firm is having Service Tax category under "Management or business consultant service, Maintenance or repair service, Construction services other than residential complex including commercial/industrial building or civil structures, Transport of goods by road/goods transport agency service, & Construction of residential complex service"

Advances against booking of flats have been received from the customers with 75% abated ST and ST collected @ 3.09%.

Our Contractors engaged for construction has charged the service portion @ 12.36%.

Question : I want to take the input credit of Service Tax paid @ 12.36% to contractors against the Service Tax collected from customers @ 3.09% for the quarter ended on March'13. Can I do so ?

as per POT Service tax is paid on invoice issued or payment which ever is earlier.

if my receipts are more than 50lacs and out of billing some clients are not paid or less paid, than how can i adjust the service tax paid wrt to them :-
