Dear All,

Tell me on which service industries charged 4% service tax. in automobile industries, Z charged wct 8% as well as charged service tax 4% on labour (Paint material/Labour). it this right that they charged 4% service tax on labour. and what rate we have to charge our customer 4% or 10.30%?

Dear All,

Pl tell me whether it is necessary to take Cenvat Credit of Service tax on services received must be connected with services the company/firm provides.
or company/firm can avail input of every service for which it paid.

eg.
> A company pays for the repair of vehicle of director or asset of co. then service tax on the Invoice of Repair can be availed as Cenvat Credit.

> Service tax paid on rent of warehouse in which the goods of company/firm is put, Can we avail that S.Tax as Cenvat Credit??
(The rent of ware house is not connected with the services which the co. provides)

Pls tell me I am in a great Confusion.

Regards,

We are engaged in the business of storage and warehousing. Also we buy & sell goods. Being the unique nature of products we deal in we take orders in advance for a month or so.

During the booking done at the time there is no consideration received for this.

Now the Service tax dept has issued a SCN stating that the advance booking is nothing but the business support service.

how should be my reply to the scn structured..?

Kindly guide me..

Sir,

In view of decision by DHC in "Home Solutions Retails India Ltd & others" we are still charging the service tax on Rent in the Invoice and depositing tax on receipt basis i.e amount of service tax received less Input credit and not depositing for those amoont of ST not recd.

An alternate view is given by some consultant that we should treat the ST as amount recd on behalf of Govt and deposit it U/s 73A of ST act.

Your view is soliciated .

For this month they are payinng services on behalf of foreign service providers just like service receiver paying service tax. They have input credit on some other expenses incurred.
