Dear,

Pl suggest how we can utilise CENVAT credit of input service for payement of excise duty liability in case of manufacturer.

1 We maintain input service register for CENVAT credit availed. But we are not output service provider.

2 Can we transfer credit balance of CENVAT of input service register to RG 23 for payment excise duty?

3 If yes, should we transfer balance lying on month end or quater end?

I have observed that some of the hotel were charging VAT 12.5% and Service tax @ 10.30% on basic cost of food as mentioned below:

Example:

Lunch costs 36000

Add: VAT 12.5% on Rs.36000 4500

Add: Service tax 10.30% on
Rs.36000/- 3708

----------
Grand total 44208
--------

I have a doubt whether both VAT and service tax is payable on basic costs.

Please clarify whether the above method of charging service tax is correct.

thanks & regards

Dear Experts,

I wish to revise the service tax returns for FY 08-09 (both the returns). Basically there is no change in the S.TAX amount (paid) but there are changes in gross sales amounts (for both returns).

The period of revised filing of return has elapsed (90 days from the filing of original return). Please advise if I can communicate to the Department that revised sales figures or if these is still any providion for filing a revised return.

Regards,

NT.

when there is a lot of services( say in lakh ) provided in a month and we cannot individually track the payment received in relation to which service then what we should do

should we deposit the tax immediately on invoice raise without waiting for the payment ..

or we should wait

IF A COMPANY IS HAVING REGISTRATION UNDER SERVICE TAX ACT AND AFTER THAT IF
THE COMPANY IS NOT CROSSING ITS THERSHOLD LIMIT OF SERVICE TAX LIABILITY IS
IT NECESSARY TO FILE NIL RETURN WITH THE DEPARTMENT.
IF YES UNDER WHICH SECTION.

WAITING EAGERLY FOR YOUR RESPONSE
