I am a proprietor for a firm which is into video tape production category of service tax. My revenue / income stands below Rs.50.00 lacs for current and preceeding financial year. I want to clarify whether i have option of paying service tax on receipt basis as per the new rules / notifications of service tax.

Is this option available for select 08 individual / proprietorship service providers such as CA, CS, Architect, Lawyers etc. or individuals like me (service provider of video tape production) also have this option of paying service tax on receipt basis.

Dear Sir/Madam

We are paying all service tax other than negative list we are paying in tax code (All taxable services-Other than Negative List 00441089)till date whether we need to pay in same code or we have to make in different codes

If the service provider is enjoying abatement, it clear that he wont be able to take canvat credit ?

But i am little confused to know , can we atleast take Cenvat credit on those input invoices which service tax has been levied after abatement ?

Eg, If i charge 3.09 % on output invoices, abatement wont be available on input invoices with 12.36% but will it be available for invoices which also have 3.09 % or other abatement rates ?

Pls clarify my problem.

Thanks !

Situation: In a construction business, material is shifted from one corner of a work site to the other, using a tractor trolley etc., and the consignor and consignee is the same person. Is Service tax under GTA applicable in such a case?
Note: 1. Consignor & Consignee is the same person
2. Material is shifted within the premises of the work-site.

Suppose, some Individual Professional exceeds the limit of gross income of Rs. 50 lakhs in March 2013, then is he required to pay Service Tax on accrual basis instead of cash basis with immediate effect from March 2013? or from April 2013 onwards?

Pls quote some reference of section, rule or case law.

Dear Sir,
Good Evening. Pls tell me what is the time limit for taking cenvat credit of service tax on a particular invoice. Within how many days we have to take cenvat credit. Relevant Act pls.
