Dear Sir,

I am a medical transcription service provider providing medical transcription service to my clients in USA. Please clarify
1. If providing medical transcription service to clients in USA attracts service tax.
2. If it attracts service tax then in the scenario that my receipts cross Rs. 10 lakh, should I pay service tax to the receipts amount excluding the exemption limit of 10 lakh or for the whole receipts including the exemption limit.

3. For the subsequent financial year, should I pay service tax even if the amount is less than the exemption limit.
Thank you.

I would like to Know the Treatment of Service TAX in the Following Case.

My Client is an Electrical Contractor, He secured a contract in May-09 by offering a price which is inclusive of all taxes,he opted for Composition in Service Tax, and he invoiced to the client, and paid service Tax on Supply bill only, after verification i advised him to pay the balance tax on Supply portion also as to follow the Latest Notification on Turn Key Projects, Now My Doubt is, the amount paid later as service tax on Supply portion is to Claim as Expense, or Should I reduce it from Sales....

A Pvt.Ltd.Co. Is doing trading activity of Chemicals. Company Purchases liquid chemicals from the importer of chemicals by Bond Transfer. This chemical is stored in their storage tank of the tank owner. Tank owner will charge storage charges if material is not lifted within validity period. For storage charges tank owner raise a debit note and charge service tax in his debit note to & Importer incurred incidental charges for purchase of material. This charges he reimbursed from the seller by way of debit note and also charge service tax in his debit note. Material which is purchased by the company is sold to the customer. If customer doesn’t lift material within 1 month, company also charge storage charges by way of debit note and charge service tax.

My Query is Can company get a credit of service tax charge by the tank owner and credit of service tax charge by the importer on incidental charges? How can company should discharge its service tax liability?

We have our C&F agents who raise debit note on us for their commission and also for reimbursement of actual expenses incurred by them for the services of C&F agents rendered by them. Is there service tax payable by them on the reimbursement of expenses for these expenses like electricity, stationery, printing etc. These costs are incurred by them on our behalf only but the invoices are raised in the name of the C&F agents.

As per Service Tax Law there is exemption threshold limit is Rs 8 lacs, suppose in the FY 2008-09 the turnover of taxable services is below Rs 8 lacs and there is no Service Tax registration. Now in the FY 2009-10 the turn over of taxable services exceed Rs 8 lacs from 12.01.2010 then we have to charge service tax in the bill from 12.01.2010 & pay to the Govt or we have to pay service tax on all the bills from 01.04.2009 to 11.01.2010 ? We have not charge any service tax in the earlier bills as the limit were not exceed till 11.01.2010.

Further should we charge service tax from 1st bill in the next FY 2010-11 ?
