Dear Members,

If someone opts for service tax registration from the mid of any month say, from 15 Nov,2012,then, whether he has to file ST 3 returns from Nov 15, 2012 onwards or he has to file quarter 1 & quarter 2 returns as well??
Kindly help.

My client is registered partnership firm. Firm sales goods to various purchaser in tuck load quanatity. Freight of each truck is above 1500/-. Purchaser pays freight to truck owner or transport company. My client does not pay freight to transport company. But my client gives less truck fair to purchaser in sales bill.
Is my client liable to pay Service Tax ? Please consider that my client does not pay any rieght to transporter. He only rebmbursh it in sales bill.

I HAVE TAKEN ST REGISTRATION. BUT SINCE MY REGISTRATION (3) YRS MY GROSS RECEIPTS IS LESS THAN 5 LACS. MY QUESTION SHOULD I AM LIABLE TO COLLECT SERVICE TAX AND DEPOSIT IT

As i need a classification in regard to the case of paying service tax for the bills raised or for the amount received.

As we have paid service tax for one of our client in bill basis for the FY 2011-12.Now(FY 2012-13) we has received money for the bill raised in the FY 2011-12.

My Clarification is either we should show the amount in ST-3 Returns for Apr to Jun?.

In case yes, Where should i enter in the ST-3?

Please clarify the below doubt:

We are a manufacturing company and are having construction activities going on in our factory. We have given the construction activity going on in our factory to a contractor who is billing us under works contract service scheme. Now once the bill is issued can we claim the cenvat on input services(works contract service-50% charged in bill) on the basis of the bill. Also please advise whether we have to ensure that the 50% service tax shown and charged in the bill has been paid by the works contractor to government and if so within what time limits such amount has to be paid to Govt by the works contractor for us to claim the cenvat.

I have uploaded the service tax return on 24th November successfully.But when I see the e-filing status on 26th Nov it shows rejected and the following error message appears"You cannot file return as Input Service Distributor only.Please provide taxable Service,Duty payable & paid details".Can anyone pl tell me why these message occur & suggest the solution?Also tell me whether penalty is leviable?

SIR I HAVE TAKEN REGISTRATION OF SERVICE TAX 1.5 year before filling return properly AND st-2 was issued to me accordingly online without sign by ac/dc...they have not yet demanded any document.

but now i have to open my current account in bank therefore they are demanding st-2 copy....will they be satisfied with unsigned copy of st-2.
