Respected Sir/Mam,

One company is registered under works contract service and pays service tax @ 10.30% on services portion only. So, it takes credit of input services and capital goods. While execution of work, it uses certain materials which it imports and pays Basic customs duty, CVD & SAD on it.

My doubt is as that company is not taking benefit of composition scheme, so whether it can take CENVAT Credit of CVD (equal to excise duty) paid on such materials/inputs.

Please reply ASAP.

Thanks.

We are making payment of service tax collected immediately within 5th of next month (as per excise procedure), without waiting for the collection from the customers, to avoid manual tracking of service collected from customers.

In some cases, the customers rejecting the services provided to them by raising debit note. In such case, can we adjust the service paid on the original bill against the current month service tax liability, or whether i have to go for refund? Kindly explain with legal provisions.

Hello Friends,

My Company has taken a building on lease in Mumbai and out of which we have sublet some portion. Kindly guide be about taxability of service tax on this mater.

Note:- We are already paying service tax on other services like Goods transport by road and business auxiliary services so we are not SSI under Service Tax Act.

Also note that we have not paid till now any service tax on Renting of Immovable Property Service.
-------------------------
My another question is that if service tax will be charge on the said subletting service than whether a limit of Rs. 10 Lacs is available for this service.
or
Limit of 10 lacs is available for all services.

Kindly guide me with any circular or relevant case law help.

Waiting for reply

Dear All,

A company has let out a portion of their office from June 2005, and was paying service tax on rent from June 2007 i.e. from the date of applicability of the service tax on renting of immovable property.

In Fy 2007- 08 the rent receipt was Rs 10,80,000/- and it paid service tax accordingly.

In Fy 2008 - 09 the rent receipt from April 2008 to July 2008 was Rs. 90,000/- per month and from Aug 2008 to March 2009 the rent was Rs 60,000/- per month . (The reduction in rent collection was because at the time of renewal of Rent Agreement the company has reduced the area let out by taking back some portion for its own use)

The company had paid service tax up to July 2008 and stopped collecting and paying the service tax from Aug 2008 as the total rent for the period Fy 2008 - 09 comes to only Rs 8,40,000/- which is below the exemption limit of Rs 10,00,000/-

Now the service tax department is saying once a company crosses the exemption limit of Rs 10,00,000/- in any financial year (in this case it crossed the limit in Fy 2007 -08 and but below the limit from Fy 2008 -09) the company cannot again avail the exemption in any subsequent years as per the service tax notification no 6/2005 dated 01.03.2005.

Kindly clarify whether the company has to pay service tax for Fy 2008 - 09 and Fy 2009- 10 (In Fy 2008 -09 the total rent receipt is Rs 8,40,000/- and in Fy 2009 - 10 it will be Rs 7,20,000/-)
