Dear Expert,
We have registered ourselves under Maintenance or repair service as we are servicing Stabilizers.

Now as we are planning to construct new premises, the architect for his plan is charging service tax

Can we take credit.

Dear sir/Madam,
We are from an organization regarding fire fighting, electrical services. We supplied fire fighting materials and did installations at our client's site, based on the work order.
Now, we need to raise the bill to our client. So, we need the format of Bill raising by mentioning service tax and vat with rates.
So, we are requesting you to send the Bill raising format.

I have a courier company in USA, lets call it "ABC". We have customers in the USA who ship goods to India. We have a Private limited firm in India that has takes up the job of customs clearance and last leg delivery. Lets Call it XYZ.

ABC collects all charges including customs duty from its customers in USA.

XYZ bills ABC for the customs duty paid in USD (INR amount paid to goverment is converted to USD at current market rate). Is any tax applicable on customs duty collected ?

XYZ bills ABC for customs clearance charges in USD. The customs clearance is done by a local company in India who bills XYZ with a service tax component in its invoice in INR. Does XYZ have to again pay service tax on amount collected by it from ABC in USD ?

XYZ bills ABC for last leg delivery in USD. The last leg is taken care of by top companies in India who bill XYZ with a service tax component in their invoice. Does XYZ again have to pay service tax on the ammount collected by it from ABC in USD ?

If XYZ offers the same service to a local company in India , Then does it have to pay service tax ?


This is so confusing , I have not received a satisfying answer from any expert that i have spoken, I hope to get some attention here.

thank you all in advance.

There s a Suvidha centre formed by govt. and registered under s r act 1860 which takes nominal fees from public to facilitate the processing of Ration Card and driving Licence etc. Is this service comes under the definition of BUSINESS AUXILIARY SERVICE. Plz do reply as huge demand is raised by the department . We are of the view that this centre facilitates the processing of personal matter like ration card etc and should not come under the perview of BUSINESS AUXILIARY SERVICES.

Dear Sir/ Mam,

In FA 2010, The service tax on rent has been retropestively introduced from 2008, but on demanding the service tax from the tenants ,on the above basis ,they refused to give the same on the grounds that no notification / bill has not been passed yet.
I consulted a CA regarding the same and he gave me the same opinion which was "Unlike Custom and Excise, any increase or Imposition of Service Tax by Finance Bill is not applicable till the Bill is passed."

I want to know whether the finance bill regarding the same has been passed and if yes what is the notification number and date (which I can forward to my Tanents as a proof).

What solutions are available to me if the service tax was payable and the same has been defaulted on my part to avoid penality and Interest.

Regards
