Dear Sir,

Thank you for your reply. But i had some doubt? please clarify

Dear Sir,

Please give me the suggestion on this problem. We were purchasing material from out of state. In the invoice it was stated the following:

Ms.Plates Qty.10@ 50000 = 5,00,000
Excise duty & edcess@ 10.3% = 51,500
cooly = 2,500
Freight = 17,000
---------
5,71,000
CST @ 2%= 11,420
---------
Total Invoice = 5,82,420

In the above bill there is a freight of rs.17000/- so we have to be show freight separately in inward and we have to pay service tax on it? or we have to add freight to material cost not paying service tax.

kindly clarify service tax on GTA is payable only for freight comes with separate freight letter or it comes with invoice value also.

If freight is includes in the purchase invoice value, and we are paying the total invoice value with freight also, we have to show in ward freight seperately or it was added to material cost? if we show seperately in in ward freight we have to pay service tax on it or not?And also tell me we have to pay service tax on freight which comes separately by transporter with freight letter & also it includes in invoice price also?

Kindly give me ur suggestion.

1)If a person pays transport charges in cash to transporter then will service tax be applicable.

2) If a supplier of goods charges for freight charges in the invoice itself then will the same be liable to service tax.

Please provide the relevant source for your suggestion. It is very urgent !!!!

Works contract service was introduced on 1-6-2007.A composition scheme was introduced and the rate was 2.06% till 28-2-2008.It became 4.12% from 1-3-2008.
Now, if Work executed after 1-3-2008 in respect of contract partly executed prior to 28-2-2008.Is it liable to tax at old rate of 2.06% or 4.12%.Why?

secondly, can composition benefit be claimed on advance received before 31-5-2007 for works contract to be executed after 1-6-2007?

Pls answer

During the audit of a real estate company, it is seen that the companyhas availed the composition scheme of Service tax, whereby it deposits ST @4.12%. The company is claiming input credit of VAT @ 4.12% paid on purchase of raw material.

My question is whether the company is eligible to take input credit of VAT from Service tax? If yes, under what rule/ notofication has this been laid down?

Reply at the earliest.
