I have purchased one Flat in sep 2009 That time service tax for the purchase of Flat was not in picture .The agreement amount was 21 Lacs including cost of registry & maintenance .Now the builder is asking for the service tax at the time of possession for entire 21 lacs amount and at the rate of 4.5% in Madhya pradesh .i.e. Rs. 94500/- .As per the Explanation of the Finance act 2010 wef 1/7/2010 ,The payments before 01.07.2010 will not be under the service tax criteria.
Please suggest if i am correct .Also please tell what is the service tax rate for such case in Madhya Pradesh .

During the course of audit of one of my client (Purely Manufacturing concern)- it is seen that in bills from advertising agencies, these agencies get some work done from outside sub-agencies which charge service tax on the services rendered by these sub-agencies to the main advertising agency. The main advertising agency raises bill to the company and charges service tax on the same. I understand that the main advertising agency must be claiming the cenvat credit for service tax charged by sub-agencies. This, in effect, reduces the burden of service tax on the main agency. However the main agency charges the service tax from us. Although the company gets cenvat credit for the service tax charged by the main agency, we feel that still it increases the cost to the company. This issue may be checked as to whether the company is suffering any revenue loss on this account.

Thanks,

my client book ticket from make my trip . and sell the ticket to customer, for that he receive commission. (for example he sell ticket for Rs 25000 to customer and for that he pays only rs 24000. 1000 is basicially commission for him. what is the treatment)

we have purchased a crane. the compay has raised a separated bill for commissioning and installation of the crane on which it has charged service tax. WE need to capitalise the commisisoning and installation bill. but what are we supposed to do about the service tax portion of the bill.
Can we claim service tax credit? if yes, then will it be the same way as excise. i.e. 50% in the first year or the entire amount of service tax credit to be claimed?
