We are a pvt. ltd. engaged in works contract of infra projects such as public roads, canals etc.

In case of labour contract we would deduct TDS and most contractors are individuals. Is reverse charge of ST applicable to us?

Please clarify.

I am now filing the service tax return for Oct to March 16 and as per Notification No. 22/2015 - CE (NT) dated 29.10.2015 - from 01.06.2015 any credit received pertaining to Education Cess and SHEC can be utilised for payment of service tax. After 1.6.2016 i received the input credit of EC & SHEC - Rs. 10000.So, now I am utilising the EC & SHEC Rs.5000 for payment of service tax. But at the time of validating and generating XML in offline utility the error comes that since Ecess and SHEC is 0 payable and it is showing as Rs. 5000 paid and now do you want to submit the return and generate XML.

So, pls guide as to whether i should file the return with this error. Is it ok?

Awaiting your guidance.

Z maintains its books on Cash basis. Z realised now (in june 2016) about its liability of service tax . Z intends to deposit the service tax now and wants to recover this from its clients through supplementary invoice or other suggested instrument in a legitimate way as most of its clients have filed their service tax returns and are not open to revise such returns .

A company is availing service of contractor for cotton loading & unloading at piece rate system. For example, A piece rate of ₹10 per cotton bale is decided. In a particular period, contractor made an invoice of ₹114500 (10000 cotton bale @₹10 each + S.tax @14.5%). Out of total bill amount, company deduct ₹10000 due to non completion of work within scheduled time & deducted ₹20000 of diesel cost, which is provided by company to contractor for running his tractor (which was otherwise purchased by contractor, if not provided by company). Now after deduction of ₹30000, company made payment of ₹84500. Now my question is whether company is liable to pay service tax on ₹100000 or ₹70000 (100000-30000). Please advise with reference of act.
