Hello,

I wanted to ask that if any person is dealing in mobile recharge i.e. he is authorised dealer of mobile recharge value for a mobile service provider in a particular region for selling the same to the mobile retailers in that region, then under what category of service he has to get registered for the purpose of service tax, as the mobile company is asking for service tax registration before giving the dealership to the person.

Thanks and Regards,

Kushal Agrawal.

The company for which we are doing the audit deals in import of services and takes the credit at the time of booking output tax entries.They say that since the cashflows of the company are significantly affected if they deposit output service tax first and then claim for the refund since they do not have other output tax collections against which they can adjust the input for import of services.Moreover the exchequer(govt) do not stands at any loss through this provision.I want your advice whether the same can be a acceptable plea?
