Dear all member

can u please give me advise regarding we have all ready interest pay(section 68) on delay payment of service tax. so why we have pay penalty(section 76 finance act)..example below

We fails to pay service tax of Rs. 20,00,000/-. Due Date of payment was 5th January. Actual Payment is made on 20th January. What would be the amount of Penalty u/s 76? Solution : The default has continued for 15 days. 2% of the Service Tax for days for which default is continued = 2% x 20,00,000 x 15/31= Rs. 19,355/- (A) Penalty calculated @ Rs. 200 per day for 15 days =Rs. 3,000/- (B) Penalty to be paid : (A) or (B) whichever is higher, i.e. Rs. 19,355/.and interest is 2000000*15d*12%/365=9863 this will be also paid...

please replay as early as possible

hi, friends

Recently my client had received service tax notice from the department stating that while filing st-3 they have not mention notification no in the st-3 hense
pay the differencial tax laibility. Can department initiate such laibility on the assessee on the reason of just non mentioning the notification no in st-3 ?

For reimbursement category ST applicable or not. For example we provide the labour compliance services to ABC Ltd. At the time of providing services we had incurred fees,photocopy & stationary expenses on behalf of client. we get money from client through raising debit note. pls confirm at time of raising debit note ST applicable or not. And additionally we required the proof for both cases ( applicable / not)Anybody pls help me.

I have a case where the client is letting out immovable property. The client got registered under Service Tax in the year 2009. She had let out her immovable property from 2007. Last year the client managed to collect the service tax on renting of immovable property with effect from June 2007 and have paid the service tax due and interest for delayed payment of service tax. The client has filed ST-3 for the year 2009-10 on 25th April 2010. Now I want to know if the client has to file ST-3 from June 2007 onwards for the period from June 2007 to 31-03-2009 (01-06-2007 to 30-09-2007, 01-10-2007 to 31-03-2008, 01-04-2008 to 30-09-2008 and 01-10-2008 to 31-03-2009)as her registration with Service Tax Department is from April 2009 only. If the client now files ST-3 from 1st June 2007 Department will ask to pay penalty.
As we all know the matter was in court and the amendment with retrospective effect only has made the client liable to collect and pay service tax.

dear sir,
during the audit in a company i found the company received the bill of rent in which service tax charged by the lessor, but the company debited only basic amount in the books and no entry made for service tax (also input not taken), and payment made only basic amount, so it is possible
what is consequences of both the parties

In one of my case I had a franchise of Hutch prepaid and earn commission rs. 550000 in the financial year 2006-07.
