Hi there

My client is having service tax registration for Maintenance and repair service. Now it has a work of Testing of Valve and calibration work on pressure gauge valve. So i want to know whether any seperate registration for above service is required or not?

Sir,
Please address me for the below mentioned Query:

Sir, in case of joint charge,if the service providor is not mentioning the amount of service tax in the bill i.e. he is not following the Rule 4A of CENVAT credit rules,2004 then whether the Service Receipient should consider the bill amount inclusive of Service Tax or not i.e. the service receipient should give payment of reverse charge considering bill amount inclusive or exclusive of service tax.

The below is the situation:
a)he is not a Small Service Providor
b)the line "inclusive of service tax" is not mentoned in bill.
c)The same Contarctor of Man Supply is charging service tax in another bill.

Please try to mention the relevant section for inclusion of service tax in bill.

my friend is a electrical contractor, he quoted a tender in a govt. co., works mention in the tender is like recondition of earthpits which includes erection, commissioning, fabrication, some civil work and material (like pipe, iron plates and civil material), now per his logic this work includes 70% material and 30% services and he charged service tax on (30%+3% cess) of gross amount. he did write or wrong please clarify.
(he registered under 3 services i.e. works contract, maintenance & rep. and business auxileary)

We are a manufacturing unit and entitled to Cenvat Credit on Service Tax.

This query is about the expansion site for manufacturing which also includes office space and amenities. We would like to know if service tax charged by the contractor can be availed as Cenvat Credit? There is no bifurcation of the bill for manufacturing area and other office area.

If the service tax is applicable, then under what notification? If it is not allowed, is it explained explicitly in any particular notification??
