A trust hires plumbing contractor & electrical contractor for a building which is being constructed. The plumbing contractor is a company and the electrical contractor is an individual. Both are charging composite service tax @ 4.944%. Now according to the new rules of service tax, who is liable to pay service tax? Is some liability shifted towards the trust also?

If the service provider is a prop firm already charging full service tax in bill and the service receiv is a body corporate ,then is the body corporate liable to charge 75% over and above and deposit.

Moreover can we take input credit for the service tax charged by the agency....

DEAR SIR

WE ARE PVT LTD CO. WE HAVE RECEIVED A TAXI BILL OF RS 1100/- FOR OUR ACCOUNTANT WENT TO A CUSTOMER FOR ACCOUNTS RECONCILIATION. SERVICE PROVIDER IS NOT REGISTERD UNDER SERVIC TAX,
WHAT WILL BE SERVICE TAX LIABILITY FOR US

can anyone tell me whether 10% service charge charged by restaurants and hotels are also liable to service tax means whether service tax is to be calculated while including service charge amount or after excluding that amount.

Even though reverse charge applies in cases as specified by amendments, the service provider has been paying up total of service tax. So what is the responsibility of service receiver? should we pay our part additionally?
My understanding is as long as the revenue is getting the full amount of service tax, it doesn't matter if provider is paying up the total service tax and hence no liability for service receiver, right?

I know about the ST - 3 updation so the Filing has been delayed.
But I have also received an message that ST-3 has to be filed by 25/10/2012 for period 01-04-12 to 30-06-12.

So, whether we should file for period from 01-04-12 to 30-06-12 with old ST -3 and afterwards upload for the Period 01-07-12 to 30-09-12 with new updated ST -3 form???
