Kindly confirm, the Edu. cess - 3% is still there ? The rate is 10% or 10.3% ? for individuals and companies ?

Thank you for your reply.But as I am trying as a new registratant,how can I have or fill up a old password.That is not clear to me.

I understand that centralised registration can be obtained only on-line now.However,even for first time users,the process asks for the old password.It is not understandable.When the departmentis contacted,they are clueless about it.Please provide assistance on this.

We are in the business of providing Tour Operator Services. The organisation was started in July 06. Eversince, we have been availing abatement in service tax as per provisions (presently 75%). Is there any time limit /limit on turnover of the co. upto which this abatement can be availed? Please advise.

Dear Expert,
Can you please explain how to pay service tax online.
Is it possible to pay service tax online the 1st time ? do we need to register online?
Awaiting your reply
