My Client is a printer who gets the order from the publisher for the printing of books and forms. They purchase papers, ink etc. as their input materials and provide the labour and other services for the printing jobs. They are not liable for Excise Duty since they are not manufacturer. They paid Local VAT on supply of paper i.e on theirsupply of material. They are not paying any service tax since in Business Auxilary service there is an exemption. Now, since from 01.06.2007, Work Contract Tax is brought into effect, will their activity in relation to supply of survice will be taxable under work contract? If "YES" on what basis? If "No" why not?

RESPECTES SIR..

I HAVE GIVEN A BILL OF RS 80000/-BUT THE COMPANY HAS PAID AN AMOUNT OF 53320/-AFTER DEDUCTION OF TDS OF RS 1600/ , SECURITY DEPOSIT OF 15000/- & PF & EPF & PENSION OF RS 20080..

MOST URGENT...

THANKING YOU...

Construction industry is covered under service tax under four main heads, i.e. Commercial & Industrial construction service, Construction of residential complex, Erection, and Works contract service.
The works contract service is brought in w.e.f. 01/06/07. After introduction thereof, is any option available with the assessee covered by these services, to chose between the first three services as referred above & works contract service.
Putting othre way round is it compulsory to collect service tax under the head of Works contract service?

Pls. advice the following points:

1) As commercial or industrial service is taxable w.e.f 10/09/2004 and NOTIFICATION NO. 24/2009 - SERVICE TAX, came on DATED 27-7-2009. So what is the position of service tax liability for the period 10/9/2004 to 26/7/2009.
2) As per Circular No. 110/4/2009-ST. RELAYING constitutes repair of roads. Do you agree with this as repairs and so IS IT taxable under Management, Maintainace or Repair Service.
3) We are in contruction of roads contract. i.e relaying of roads. Do we need to pay Service tax for the period 10/9/2004 to 26/7/2009. How can we save from this liability. What should we reply to the department.
4) Can we take the benefit of Dr. Lal Path Lab (P.) Ltd.v. CCE (2006) 5 STT 171 (CESTAT), it was held that if a service has been specifically excluded from definition of one service, it cannot be covered under another taxable service. So when roads construction has been specifically excluded/exempted under Commercial Or industrial Construction Service [section 65(105)(zzq)] then how they can tax under Mangement, Maintainance or Repair Service.

Pls. guide.

I want konw that the remittance of service tax, which was paid on Pvt Ltd company, but the taxable receipts received and deposited in Partnership firm.

The name of the Companies :
1. M/s. Maruthi & Co (partner ship firm)
2. M/s. Maruthi & Co Pvt Ltd.,
(management of both above cos are same)

Actually the taxable income generated in pvt ltd company only, but cheques received in the name of partnership firm. By mistake thost cheques deposited in partnership firm account, which firm is not working currently and also firm has not submited the closer letter officially.
and service tax payment made in Pvt Ltd co & returns has been filed for FY 2009-10.

As per Form 26AS TDS also remitted by the customers in name of Partner Ship Firm for the above said financial year.

In the above case, We need the clear clarification about the remittance of Service Tax.

Mr. X hires trucks from party Mr. Y and uses them towards goods transport for party Mr. Z, and charges Mr. Z for this. Mr X pays Y the hire charges charged by Mr. Y.Now if Mr. X's receipts go above 1000000/- will it be mandatory for him (Mr. X) to apply for a service tax number? Does such kind of service come under the Service Tax? If yes under which service?

Sir,
