dear sir
we are mfr & seller of gold ornaments studded with diamonds & precious stones.
For one customer, we bill them for labour charges for making gold ornaments - because that customer supplies us gold, diamond & stones.And we make ornaments according to his design.
Can this attract service tax ? Do we have to charge service tax to this customer ?
If yes, under which rule/noti./circular ?
If not also, then under which rule / noti / circular ?
thanks in advance

Please let us know the latest CENVAT Credit guidelines? How much amount Service Tax Receivable can be set-off against the Service Tax Payable? We are a Co-operative bank.Service Tax provider under BFN & BAS. Due to ambiguity in law, we have not adjusted CENVAT during this F.Y.2009-10. Can we utilise the same before 31.03.2010? Pls reply.

Can it be possible to utilise certain percentage of input credit available for the month say 70:30,or it needs to be looked itemwise for availing input credit

Hello People,
I am a first time entreprenuer based in Hyderabad. I am opening a private limited comapany with 2 directors. We will be in the business of a gaming cafe where there will be video games and snacks. I have the following queries -
1. My annual turnover is expected to be around 8 lakhs pa, which doesnt come under the purview of service tax. So should i still register myself under service tax or should i wait till the company has a turnover exceeding Rs. 9 lakhs?

2. I am aware i will have to pay VAT on the food and beverage sold in the cafe. I am expecting a sale of Rs. 3 lakhs pa from it. So my question is how am i supposed to pay the VAT on this sale? And when should i register myself with the VAT authority?

3. As a private limited comapny and based on the nature of my business, is there any other regulation under which i should register my business?

I would be very thankful if these doubts of mine can be cleared by the experts panels.

Thanks & Regards
Saif Ali
