Hi, Actually Our Client A LLP is Paying Service tax Quarterly, but as Service Tax Rules Specifically distinguishes Body Corporate from Firm, can the Period of Payment be monthly For LLP? Thanks in advance.

Sirs
Many authorities require Service Tax Registration no. even from the new units, but department refuse to grant the registration since turnover is below Rs. 9.00 lacs.

Please clarify whether any person is entitled for Voluntary Service Tax Registration, even providing the services but not liable to pay any service tax since within exemption limit.
Can the department refuse to grant the Registration to such voluntary applicants.

Dear Experts, Could you please guide me on below issue please?
Our top level managerial people have spent few expenses during official visit at abroad in foreign currency. The expenses are in the nature of hotel bills, motor car expenses, other miscellaneous purchases in foreign currency incurred in abroad through Credit Card. As per Rules of Service tax, if any expenses are incurred specifically by employee for their own use, Service tax thereon will not be allowed as Cenvat Credit. Now my issue is that, As we are making Credit Card payment in INR towards these expense incurred in foreign currency , do we need to pay service tax on these expenses under reverse charge?

Is service tax charged by restaurants inclusive of service charge? Does that 40% of ST contains the percentage of service charge also?
