We have outsourced our payroll process. The payroll processing agency has been registered as Management Consultants. Will we be able to avail credit of service tax charged by it in light of amended definition of input services? Does this get into category B of input service definition?

one of my client is doing the business of cargo services but in fact he is charging the frieght with service tax as it is charged by Airlines and pass on total amount to Airlines and for that Airlines provide him an Income in the name of Rebate & Discount.
My question is that is my client is liable to show the total amount collected and paid to airlines in his Service tax return and secondly he can charge service tax on Rebate & Discount?
or he should file his return as NIL return.

We are a private limited company engaged in constructing residential complex.

We are paying service tax @ 10.30% on 25% of gross value after availing abatement of 75%. Also we do not take CENVAT credit on input goods, capital goods or input services.

Now, our sub-contractor who does labour work for us and does not provide/use any material of his own is charging service tax on his bill.

Need to know whether this is valid if yes then under which clause?

Please reply its urgent.
