For e.g if we file ST return on 20th may istead of 25th of april.My first question is that can we revise ST return ?If yes, then what is the time limit in which we can revise ST return ?
Please refer any case (if any) on such a situation.

Services Imported to India belong to Director's fee, editing fee, graphic designing, ETC.

Under which rule can the credit be taken in such case.

Pls advice.

My contractor has done one Lumpsum Turnkey contract. During the contract execution there was no service tax on the works i e prior to 1.6.2007. After the applicability of service tax w e f 1.6.2007, my contractor has remitted service tax to the government but not raised the same in the tax invoice. After the contract is over, there was a prolonging dispute on this service tax which was not claimed by the contractor. He is showing proof of service tax challan for proof of service tax payment. The contractor is prefering the service tax claim now. Please clarify in the absence of tax invoice, based on the proof of service tax remittance, can we reimburse the service tax. If we, as a service taker, denied the claim, what would be the consequence?

My company is registered in UAE, carrying out the business of architectural drawings and we do not have any registration in India or any business interest in India. Recently we have prepared some Architectural drawings for a company in India and while making the payment, our client has deducted 20% tax towards service tax. In this regard, can you please clarify the following?

1) Is my Indian client is right in deducting TDS towards tax from my fees since the revenue earned by me out of a service carried out outside India and my company does not have any registration in India?
2) If yes, is the rate applied (20%) is correct or not?
3) If (1) & (2) above is yes, how can I get the refund from Taxation authorities, since we do not have a registration or business interest in India and hence my company is not an assessee in India?

Thanks
