we are main contractors awarded contract in SEZ area, for which i assume service tax is not payable. we gave sub contract of water treatment plant to mr. B who says, even if service tax is not payable on us due to SEZ, he is liable to service tax and he will charge service tax to us. if he is correct. pl guide.

thanks in advance.

We are providing services to SEZ unit. Is service tax exempted to SEZ units or whether exemption is provided by way of Refund??

My Client has a business of printing, they are registered as manufacturer in VAT, whether service tax applicable or not?
Business in detail:
Printing of hoarding,Printing of sunboard,Printing of glass,material is of client & printing is done on it but designing is not done by the client,printing is done in customised way.

i am starting a website and will accept the payment through paypal payment gateway (as buyers would be from US only)
do i need to register for service tax for accepting such payment or can i open a individual current account to accept the payment

I surrendered ST-2 online for one of our client. The procedure which we followed
are as follows:
Loged on to www.aces.gov.in; clicked 'Reg'; Clicked on Reg No; Filled up last 3
column; Clicked on Surrender ST-2. Now we are getting the following message
"The application for surrender of ST-2, service code number ....., has been submitted
successfully"
Doubt:
Which one we have to take print, "the form which we have filed or the message"
Now we are unable to view the form which we have filed and we are getting the
message "THERE IS NO RECORD FOR SURRENDER AS SURRENDER REQUEST IS
PENDING WITH THE DEPARTMENT"
Kindly advice the next step as early as possible.

As per Budget 2012there will be common 1 page return for excise and service tax under rule 12 of the Central Excise Rules, 1944. As per this rule in case an assessee whose service tax liability was Rs 25 lakhs or more in the previous year will file the return on monthly basis. Further in case of new service provider other than individuals or firms shall file month monthly return.
What is the effective date for the same.

Naveen

Hi Sir/Madam
We had a turn over between 9-10 Lakhs during the F.Y 2010-11. Further we applied for ST Registration, and no Service Tax collected since we didn't crossed the limit of 10 Lakhs. During the F.Y 2011-12 we again have turn over below 10 Lakhs (but above 9 lakhs). We have any ST liability?? Awaiting favourably..

We are registered under Manpower Recruitment Agency and Management Consultants. We would like to know the effect of notification No 15/2012 dtd 17 th March, 2012. Whether from 1st April 2012 we have to pay 25% of service tax from our pocket and balance 75% from our client ?
