I had booked a flat in 2006 with a reputed builder. Towards this an agreement for construction and agreement for sell was executed. The payments were made as per the schedule of the builder. The UDS was registered in my Name while 85% of the construction was completed. Now the builder is refusing to handover the key as i have refused to pay service tax & works contract tax of totalling 4.04% of the construction cost.

Pls inform whether ST & WCT is payable by me as Allottee? If not, how to get the key as I have paid entire consideration of the flat.

As we know service tax is paid only when consideration for service is received. if no consideration is received no service tax liability arises.

At the time of billing we credit service tax account and provide service tax liability in the books of account whereas there is no service tax liability arises at the time of billing.

Please suggest proper accouting treatment of service tax so that liability can be created in the books of account only when it actually arises.

Dear All ,

One of my client is doing job work in the factory of say B on the material related to B and after specific norms of quality of the job work he is raising bills on total no. of pieces he completed on a monthly basis . B after deducting TDS making payments to my client through Cheques only . Here he is doing job work alongwith his labour . My querry is
whether he can be taken as a manpower agency ? as he is doing job work alongwith his labour in the premises of B because for become liable in Service Tax his concern is not a recruitment or labour supply agency / concern and further the billing is completely on piece basis already mentioned on the face of the bills he raised. How the Service Tax authority can treat him as a labour supplliers agency ?
another aspect is he is doing job work of the material related to B on which B is paying and assessable under excise duty in that case notification no 8/2005 also exempt his as a job worker also .

My final querry is whether my client can be held liable under service tax in both the mode reffered above i.e.
1. under manpower recruitment agency
2. under business auxiliary service
after reading the above provisions and facts as i have already reply to the ass.comm. and submitted photocopies of the bills given to B , Form - 16 A , copy of bank statment and copy of ledger in B'S books but neither he cross any question to me but now he has given notice to B and asking the details .

Can anybody clarify the above whether my client can be liable under service tax

Fact:
A limited company engaged in providing Tower Installation Services by using certain materials which are ultimately transfer to the contractee.

As the installation service includes the transfer of property in goods, the company is charging VAT @ 12.5% on 80% of the Gross Amount Charged (Including Material) according to the provisions of DVAT. As per DVAT provisions 20% abatement will be available in case of composit work contract.

Further, the company is charging Service Tax after availing 67% Abatement under notification 1/2006 i.e. service tax is charged on 33% of the Gross Amount Charged.

By following the above procedure, company is paying tax (both VAT and Service Tax) on 113% of the gross amount charged.

Query:
Can the company pay Service Tax on balance 20% of the Gross Amount Charged by following the Notification No. 12/2003 or Rule 2-A of the Service Tax (Determination of Value) Rules 2006, rather than paying service tax on 33% of the gross amount charged.
