Hello Freinds,

I have query regarding service tax.

Whether Service received (Security Service) at mines (Other than Factory) can be considered as input service ?

The output of mines is input material of our final product.

Now can we claim credit of Service Tax ?
Also provide any guidline or landmark case in support of your comments.

our client is a company , who is operating the rigs borewell drilling vehicles , on which the turnover is Rs.60 lacs , now recently the service tax dept has issued a notice , saying that , you are liable to pay service tax .
my queries are :
1. rigs borewell operates for irrigation purpose partly for agriculutural & partly for commercial purpose , under which clause the liability areises i.e a) supply of tangible services (right to use tangible goods ) or (b) under site formation , evacuation.
2. further , if rigs drilling borewell activity operates entirely for agricultural purpose , is there any exemption notifications , for justifying the non-applicability of service tax on rigs borewell business , since this busineess has spread everywhere , it mainly operates in tamilnadu .
Can anybody , clarrify me , regarding this issue.

Dear sir/madam,

Partner ship firm service tax payable to quartly or monthly?

With Regds,

Can a tenant(Pvt.Ltd.Co.) deposit the Service tax on Rent payable by it to the landlord (again a Pvt.Ltd.Co.) under the provisions of Service Recipient? That is, that can a tenant deposit the service tax under its own name & service tax code & file the return as a Service Recipient? (Like we do in Goods transport agency)
In my point of view, it isn't possible, but, what should we do if the landlord isn't agreeing to comply with Service tax provisions?

Our client has incurred transportation charges & on which Service Tax Liability has been passed to our client.
Can Input credit be taken for the Abatement liability paid by our client?

After the Ho'ble Mumbai Court verdict how the service tax liability will be discharged and how the following issues will be resolved?

1) If the Builder is paying 1% VAT then would the service be covered under Works Contract for the purpose of Service tax?

2) How the interest and penalty would be levied on service tax after 1.7.2010 that is will it have retrospective effect?

Kindly revert back on these issues.

Thank You
