We are a transport service(transport of goods by road) providing firm.We issue the bills as frieght charges.

We hire the trucks from outside transporter for transporting the goods.

Now my question is ,

Is it necessary to prepare our LR and attach it with our bills.

Or is it sufficient that we submit the LR of our outside transporters with our bills.

FOLLOWING SERVICES ARE PROVIDED
1) LABOUR LAW
2) OUTSOURCING SERVICES
3) PLACEMENT SERVICES
WE ARE REGISTERED AND PAYING SERVICE TAX THE HEAD " MANPOWER RECRUITMENT A SUPPLY AGENTS SERVICES.

MY QUESTION IS WHETHER WE ARE RIGHT IN DOING SO. IF NOT THESE ABOVE SERVICES PROVIDED BY US WILL COME UNDER WHICH CATEGORY ??

our company is pvt. ltd. company and online education service provider. We have taken service from outside India for server hire charges and online advertising services. But we have received invoice in $ (dollars). We have to deposit any addition tax liability against import online services from outside India. How we will show in books & service tax return also.

hello members,
i have entered into a contract for rendering my professional services to an organisation @50,000 p.m. for a period of ONLY five monts viz. Nov-09 to March 10.

prior to this i was employed with a company & was getting salary (period April-09 till Oct-09) on which TDS was made.

Now for my contarct of service for which i shall be billing 2.5 lacs,is Service Tax applicable ?
pls guide,i am a bit confused as the organisation says that for All contracts they consider service tax by default.

i think service tax is not applicable to at least for this year

thanks in advance

Service tax deptt. has imposed penalty for late deposit of service tax, whereas the tax and interest thereon was deposited 6 months late than the due dates but much before issue of SCN,

penalty amount is about 38000/-

I have quotated 4-5 case laws in which it was decided that such penalty is not to be imposed if tax and interest is paid before SCN

the first personal hearing was held in January 2008 and positive assurance was given for AC but again in Nov 09 we have received notice for personal hearings, pl guide with suitable case laws and practical winning approach

I would like to basic concept and procedure for returns ST.

One of our client is already registered with Service Tax Authority. Now we want to amend our RC. But department says first registered yourself online then take the copy along with documents. What is the procesure for doing all this. Thanks in advance

dear sir,
We procure some of our raw materials on Freight Paid basis. (each time freight amt. exceeds 1500/-). If transporter has not added service tax in his L/R, then are we liable to pay Service Tax on that "Paid Freight" ?
thank you in advance.
anckoor.

example,
opening balance of cenvat is 100,
cenvat credit availed during the month is 50,
cenvat credit utilised during the month for clearance of excisable goods is 20,
closing cenvat credit balance is 130.
if my gross service tax liablity is 200.
what amount of cenvat credit can i set off against my service tax liablity? is it 30 (50 minus 20, availed & utilised during the month) or 130 (i.e. closing balance of cenvat at the end of the month) or any other amount?
kindly guide me regarding this at the earliest.
Thank you.
Best Regards.
Rajesh

The transporter has charged the service tax in its bill.Whether the assessee being company is eligible for taking credit as the liab to discharge service tax liab on GTA service is that of the service receiver(company)
Whether the abatement of 75% shall be claimed from the beginning of the year or assessee can start claiming abatement in the mid of the year..after making service tax payment on whole amount for first 4 months of the year.
