We are rendering services to a Foreign company for getting Purchase order from India companies. We are not executing the order and the foreign company only takes care of the execution of the order. Our service ends with forwarding the Purchase order placed on them. For which we are getting commission as consideration. The commission is some percentage on the purchase order value and the percentage is differing for every purchase orders. We are getting the commission in foreign curreny only. Shall we liable to charge service tax for that commission amount? Please someone clarify.

By way of Notification No. 25/2012 – ST dtd. 20.06.2012, the Government has exempted service by an individual advocate or a partnership firm of advocates by way of legal services to, -

i) an advocate or partnership firm of advocates providing legal services;

ii) any person other than a business entity; or

iii) a business entity with a turnover upto Rs. 10 Lakhs in the preceding financial year.

“Legal service” is defined to mean any service provided in relation to advice, consultancy or assistance in any branch of law, in any manner and includes representational services before any court, tribunal or authority.

“Business entity” is defined to mean any person ordinarily carrying out any activity relating to industry, commerce or any other business.



My query is that turnover of "business entity" in what respect?

turnover of rs. 10 lacs means releated to "services" or other mean?

Dear Sir,

Service tax to be charged on rent payable is 12.36%. One of my customer is asking, as per the Notification No.30/2012 25% of service tax payable by the person providing service and balance 75% of service tax payable by the receiving the service. please inform weather it is 12.36%? or 3.09%?

Folks,

Pl. update,
can we take INPUT credit on the service tax, for the transactions under reverse charge mechanism.

eg. MRA service 75% of receiver and 25% by provider (from Non corporate to Corporate)

Now the question is,
can the service receiver take the credit of 25% collected by the service Provider.

Pl. update
