Dear Sir/Madam,
Our Company has taken a rented warehouse outside factory premises for storing our imported raw material (Excisable).

The landlord had charged service tax @ 10.30% and included in his bill and we have paid the rent with service tax.

My point is, are we eligible to avail service-tax input. If so, how and under what section, can we avail input tax credit.

Experts please give your opinions.

Rgds,

Hi,
Recently we had rennovate our office. Against which we have received a bill, in that bill vendor had imposed VAT as well as Service Tax also. The vendor has imposed VAT @12.5% on 80% of the base amount & S.Tax @10.3% on 100% of the base amount.
My query is whether S.tax should be imposed on 100% of base amount or remaining 20% of the base amount.
Please also provide any notification/circular in reference of your answer.

Thanks
