Dear sir,

I am purchasing cement. The bill includes Cenvat(10%),education cess(3%) and loaded to the the basic rate. This total amount is further subjected to a TN VAT(5%). I request a clarification on the following points.

2. Whether Cenvat & Service tax are one and the same.

I will be thankful to you if my doubts are cleared by email

1) is service tax rate applicable from 2day onwards or from 01.04.2012.
2) A agency purchased costumes from different shops B/c/d/e etc. & delivered the same to C my client alongwith bill of A & B/cd/e etc. issued in the name of my client C then while re-imbursing the said purchases payment to A, whether C should deduct TDS? (re-imbursement of purchases for shooting)

once the online application is made of ST-1, in how many days the service tax number comes,?
