My client is providing tour operating service to IRCTC Mumbai.

Is this exempt uner notification No. 20/2009 DATED 7TH JULY, 2009 OF SERVICE TAX.

Suppose i provide services in relation to immovable property which is located outside India.& i received consideration in Indian currency.

So my question is that whether this will tantamount to Export of Service under service tax export Rule 2005

Please reply as earliest possible.

Thanks in Advance

Please advise whether we need to pay service tax for the below mentioned purchase.

We have purchased computer components from US company amounting USD 42,536.60 which is Rs. 19,12,000 ( approx ). This purchase is basically Import of software licenses. The US company has not charged Service tax in Invoice to us as they are not registered with service tax ( Non Indian company )

1. Do we need to pay service tax on such import of software's on behalf of this company as we have used these components in the finished product on which we are charging service tax to our client , if yes on which amount do we need to pay this...here I mean upto Rest.10 Laces there is no service tax payable so do we need to pay the ST on the amount going above that ??

2) Can I take credit of service tax paid on Rent payment, Housekeeping charges, etc also against the service tax payable on this import ?

3 ) We have purchased this software in April 2010 & till date not paid service tax on this...can we pay it now ? what will be the penalty if any ??

4) We have applied for ST regn May 10 & got ST-2,however not got Registration Certificate...Do this will affect ? Can we still file the return on / before 25th Oct ?

Pls reply to this. Thanks in anticipation.

Lalit

The client is an authorised distributor of SUN DIRECT DTH and they receive two types of receipts through distrubutionship service 1) Contract receipts 2) Commission Receipts
Contract receipts received on the basis of number of instalations they did and they have to raise an invoice with applicable service tax.
Commission receipts on the basis of order by the client, which one is not liable to service tax..
But the service tax department has raised an query regarding the commission receipts and they insist us to pay service tax applicable rate..
My question is

2) or exempte?
3) The SUN Direct has issued two types of TDS for Contract and Commission receipts.

sIR,IS IT REQUIRE TO PREPARE THE AGREEMENT FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED AS business support services,and goods transport agent.

Dear Sir/ Mam,

In FA 2010, The service tax on rent has been retropestively introduced from 2008, but on demanding the service tax from the tenants ,on the above basis ,they refused to give the same on the grounds that no notification / bill has not been passed yet.
I consulted a CA regarding the same and he gave me the same opinion which was "Unlike Custom and Excise, any increase or Imposition of Service Tax by Finance Bill is not applicable till the Bill is passed."

I want to know whether the finance bill regarding the same has been passed and if yes what is the notification number and date (which I can forward to my Tanents as a proof).

What solutions are available to me if the service tax was payable and the same has been defaulted on my part to avoid penality and Interest.

Regards
