hello everyone,

one of our client's business is to transport goods from one state to another. He owns goods transport vehicles for this purpose.

he has been charging service tax @3.09% on the billed amount.

is it proper.

Act calls for partnership firm to pay service tax after an abatement of 75% for availing transportation by road wen per consignment is 750 or contract value is 1500.
wat to do wen the service provider is not covered under service tax?
wen the actual liab to deduct and pay arises for the partnership firm?
does the firm has to pay even wen the provider is not covered under ST?

hai friends,
This is Aravind. please clarify my doubt.
the case study is as follows.
we have a client who is operating in automobile industry and is having a maruti showroom and a service work shop.
Client is purchasing cars from maruti, the price of the cars include cenvat also.
now on the other hand he is a service provider also.he is collecting service tax on the services provided to his customers from them.

Now my query is that while paying the service tax, whether he can claim the cenvat credit that is paid on the purchase of cars.
NOTE:the client is not having any excisable activity and is not liable to pay excise duty.

please clarify my query.
with regars,
Aravind.
