In business parlance, first the parties bills are credited in the accounts and actual payment is made later by cheque or any other mode.
In such circumstances, which stage shall constitute payment for discharging service tax liability?
The basis of above query is that in the month of march,2010, all transporters bills are being accounted for and the actual payment shall take place later. So in march, service tax is payable on the actual payment amount or on bill amount credited also.

Dear friends,

How should a civil contractor registered under works contract head both in Service Tax and Gujarat Value Added Tax Act should raise invoice for the works contract?

At what rate he should charge V.A.T. & Service Tax on works contract bill?

Whether Service Tax & V.A.T. both will be applicable?

Awaiting expert opinions.

Thanks & Regards,

Sir,
M/s X is a sea food exporter and is now doing fish processing work for other exporters. The commissioner of Central Excise considered this activity as Business Auxiliary service and charged service tax and penalty. According to him peeling, cooking, freezing do not amount to manufacture U/s 2(f) of CE Act.
In the appeal top CE it is mentioned that the input is fish and output is ready to eat product .Moreover fresh squid is classified under heading 030741.20 and frozen food is under 0307.49.20.Similarly headings 0301 and 0302 pertains to fresh or live fish .Frozen fish is classified under 0303.Hence process is manufacture and is not liable for service tax.
Please guide me whether any additional point can be given during personal hearing.

As I had already asked a query with regarding to the input service tax credit now one more doubt that we are transporting our own finished goods to our depots at different places in India on that transportation charges we are paying Service tax after taking into consideration of abatement, similarly we are paying ST on materials received from the party to our factory after taking into consideration of abatement, so my doubt is the output service and input service can be set off or not if yes how we have to show in our books.Pl......very Urgent.

any discount provided by the trader under the service given is subject to service tax then what about the concession which is provided under the same service?
example : if a commercial coaching center is provides concession to a student who come from a background where his financial position is not strong. so the service tax would be charged on the total fees or net fee (i.e. total fees - concession). urgent answer would be appreciated
