One mess contractor is giving morning tea, breakfast, lunch & dinner in an Educational Institute Hostel where food preparation, place & equipment is provided by educational institution. The Contractor only goes to the hostel and prepares the food and no further activity is carried out by him. The place of hostel where food is served is Non AC and neither alcoholic licence is served there. Is the activity of Contractor liable to service tax???

Dear All,
We would like to ask that what is the responsibility of Service Receiver in case of Service Tax with respect to payment of Service tax to Government by Service Provider.

IF Service Provider does not Pay Service Tax to Government, then will it be a liability of Service Receiver.
If Service Provider does not Pay Service Tax to Government,then will government will deny service receivers service tax credit even though he has paid full amount with service tax to service provider.

Hello experts, please give your opinion on following.

My company is engaged in construction business (mainly in Govt. projects), as our most of works are exempted from service tax there is no question of taking CENVAT. But recently we have under taken few private works which are subject to Service Tax. Now my que. is-

If we have taken machinery on 01/08/2012 and paid excise duty on it(On 01/08/2012 we don't have any taxable projects on hand), can we take CENVAT credit of same in following situation:-

We got taxable project on 01/09/2012,

1.) If we don't use above machinery in taxable project.

2.) If we use above machinery in taxable project.

Sir,
As per latest notification of service tax,in case of manpower services, the receiver of services has to pay 75% of service tax. I have a sufficient amount of CENVAT credit. Now, I just wanted to know that whether I can utilise such credit for payment of service tax on manpower service(75% portion) or we have to pay such portion only through challan.

Is Service tax is applicable to Director's Remuneration ?

If Director is under employment, under which section TDS should be deducted ? 194J or 192B ?

If Service tax is applicable, who will pay it to the govt ? Company or Director ?
