Hi,
we are paying service tax on proceesing charges for peanut decorticating unit. later found that, as per the notification no14/2004, we are exempted to service tax on this processing fee.
the issue now is that, we have paid service tax for last 1.5 years without aware of this exemption notification. what is the proceedure for getting this refund. is there any time period within which we should apply? pls englighten me on this.

As per ST- 2 a Firm is authorised for Out-door Catering but without making any amendment in ST- 2 Firm started to provide Cleaning services and Invoice raised with Service Tax realised in March Qtr. How Can he file his Return ?

I have read that WCT rate is 4% + cess.. But in many companies they levy WCT @ 4% rather than 4.12%. Please give me clarification regarding it.

Company A give contract to company B.Now,company A have received service tax@4.12% from the Parent company as it has amendent under work contaractors services. But company B registered under erection & installation which have sertice tax @10.3% in AY 2011-2012.work order of the company also not mention about the tax rate.can company B also registered service tax under work contractors & services which have taxability of 4.12% in Ay 2011-2012.If registered it is necessary to get a document proof?pls clarify this situation.what is the consiquence if we registed without any written proof?

Please specify the notification no. in which 67% abatement is available in " WORKS CONTRACT SERVICE " and tax is chargeable on balance 33% of the billing amount.

Dear Sir,
I own a Proprietorship Concern registered under Service Tax engaged in Consultancy work. While in FY 2008-09 & 2009-10 I was eligible to pay Service Tax & also paid it, during the FY 2010- 11, I did not do much of consultancy work. For whatever Consultancy Services I provided (INR 180000 approx), I paid the proper Service Tax. But I provided some Services as a Real Estate Agent in my individual name (not credited to my Propitiatory Firm Bank Account)which was way below the limit of INR 10 Lacs (only 3.30 Lacs). Now, my query is; whether I had to pay Service Tax on this amount also or not ? If yes, was it to be paid under the Service Tax Registration of my Proprietorship Firm or should I have registered myself individually ?
Thanks in anticipation.....

Whether service tax paid on Renting of immovable property can be claimed as input service and used in paying service tax on architect service and other output service.....Main issue for discussion is whether the definition of 'input service' after Budget 2011 has been limited only to the activities expressly provided in 'input service' or is there any scope for 'inclusive' part.........
