Query on Service Tax

Dear Sir,

I have a query in reference to my C& F Agent’s Service Tax.

My client is a C&F Agent of ABC Limited for Gujarat State.

Being C&F, my client pays freight which is reimbursed by ABC Limited.

As ABC Limited pays Service Tax on Reverse Charge basis, my client C&F agent is not required to pay Service Tax. But recently, service tax authorities under pre-audit instructed us to prove that ABC limited is paying Service Tax on reimbursed freight or not. ABC Limited gave an undertaking letter to my client C&F agent regarding their payment of service tax on freight.

The big issue for us is that ABC limited has several C&F agents for different states and it would be very difficult for them to appear before ST authority here in Gujarat and prove their payments in relation to Gujarat C&F Freight reimbursement.

The ST Authority has told us that if we are not able to prove about ABC Limited’s payment, the whole ST liability would come to my client C&F Agent.

Please suggest some solutions as to how to satisfy the ST authority.

Regards
Bhargav

Hi friends,

I am working in a construction co. and sub contracting some of our work to some sub contractor.
We pay service tax on work provided by us and take input credit of service tax charged to us by sub contractor.

We receive payments / bills from our clients say on 10th may so liability to pay s.tax arises on 6th june. While we charge our sub contractor on 10th june.

Now as my liability to pay s.tax arises before i charge my sub contractor.
For eg. My co. will pay Rs. 100 s.tax on 6th june. And my co. will be charge s.tax by sub contractor on 10th june say Rs. 90. From above it is clear that my actual liability is Rs. 10 only (100-90) as Rs. 90 will be available as input credit.

Now my que. is:
Can we get refund of service tax paid my us, or there is any other mechanism exists. Please let me know what to do in above situation.
Can we transfer bal. in input credit of Rs. 90 (paid to sub contractor) in Service tax output account so our actual expense of s.tax comes to Rs. 10 only.

Can i know that what is the procedure for registering the additional place of business in service tax??

We have already taken the registration under centralised system on the group as a whole & in the registration certificate, the type of registration is mentioned as "Registration of a single premise"

We dont have centralised billing system but we have centralised accounting system.

Do we require to fill Fresh form ST I again or we require to just amend it or just we require to intimate to the authority on the letter head of the company.

Please reply soon. its urgent.

Thanks in advacne
