Hi Expert,

We are a small IT company at Hyderabad and wanted to have small branch office at Bangalore. So we wish to pay Rent @ 40,000 per month to land lord. Also we wish to have this bangalore office as office cum guest house. If any employees going to Banglore on office visit, they can stay for few days and return back to Hyderabad.
Bangalore land lord is not having more than 10 lakhs income including this rent and he has only PAN No. So we will deduct 10% TDS u/s 194I and service tax will not be paid. My question is do we need to pay service tax in this like Reverse charge mechanism or any manner to service tax dept and second is how to account this bangalore office. It means to be accounted as " Office Rent " account or " Guest House Rent "
Please clarify

We running our consultancy business at Jaipur in Rajasthan and issue invoice of monthly consultancy charges to a party which is situated in Jammu & Kashmir.
Shall we charge Service tax @14.50 % in our invoice to party or service tax is exempted.
Please advice.

I want to know how a hotel can raise invoice to a customer when all the services are provided to say Corporate customer. e.g. A Corporate hires a hotel rooms for stay of its chief executive officers to whom food is also served in room as well as at restaurant run by hotel. Further conference is also held in conference room where Audio Visual Arrangement is also made by hotel along with food and drink. Hotel also charges extra amount as service charges. How all services can be covered in one bill. Hotel also pays luxury taxes and Sales/Vat tax. How invoice will be changed if hotel has opted for lumpsum payment of vat (as in Gujarat).

[For room services taxable portion is 60%, for food and drink in restaurant taxable portion is 40%, food and drink supplied in conference room taxable portion is 70%].

What would be the rate of service tax for conference room provided by hotel when no food is supplied in conference room.

Whether audio visual arrangement will be taxable at 100% value or it will be merged with conference room charges and benefit of 30% of value will be available.

if commission is Rs. 12 Lacs in fy 2012-13, is agent liable to pay service tax on this ??

Can penalty on late filling of service tax return (not being NIL) be waived if registration is voluntarily obtained and tax has been paid along with interest and total turnover does not exceed Rs. 10 lakhs ???

Reason for not filing of return is that consultant of the assessee died and and assessee was in impression that return has been filed as tax has been paid in due time. can we take plea that as there is no loss to the revenue and there is genuine reason for not making compliance and as soon as he came to know that compliance has not been done, he through another consultant filed returns which were not filed earlier
