Recently our transport contractor (we hire transport from them for the tour of our foriegn clients) billing us as per following example : -

Tour Package Cost = Rs. 60,000
Service Tax @ 4.12% Rs. 2472
Nett bill amount = Rs. 62472

Can we suggest our transporter to bill us as per follwing manner : -

Suppose they have a Margin on the total tpt cost is @ 10%

So they can bill us like :-
Hiring Charges 6000.00
(10 % of Rs. 60000)
Service Tax @ 4.12% = Rs. 247.00
Total bill amount = Rs. 6247.00
Charges of Fuel/Toll/Parking/State Taxes etc. = 54000.00
Gross Bill amount = Rs. 60247.00

The captioned suggestion means to avoid double taxation, as the transporters are already paying service tax on the fuel, parking, toll etc. then again they levy the service tax on their gross billing

Pls advice whether the above is in order.

Thanks in advance

On 10-July-2009, X an Advertising Agency (Proprietorship firm) Provided taxable services of Rs.10,000/- and service tax @ 10.3%, Rs.1,030/-; Total bill amount Rs.11,030/- received. This services were partly outsourced by another firm Y for which an invoice of Rs.5,510/- (inclusive of service charge Rs.5000/-, service tax @ 10.3% Rs.510/-). Can X Claim for input Service-Tax of Rs.510/- in the FY 2009-2010, which he paid to Y, if the outsourced Invoice date is 02-Feb-2009 ? (Service provided & Outsourced in India).

URGENT !!!!!

As per the notification No. 1709 & 1809 Dated : 7.7.09, we decided to get the Exemption on the taxable service of
01. GTA for place of removal to port of export.02. Commission agent located out side India.
And we also filed the form EXP1 & it approved.

Now my query is as the Notification is dated 7.7.09, can we get the exemption on the Bills before 7.7.09??? please clear with the terms.
And are in process to file EXP2, in this case it is very clear that Exporter has to file the self attested copy of Shipping Bill. But is it necessary to attach the copy of Invoice & Bill of Lading / FCR / AWB as it not mentioned in Notification.

We are a trading company providing business auxilary services also.
We purchased MS office License on which Service tax was paid.
Can we take the input credit on service tax paid for capital assets, If yes please also give logic.

My company want to claim service tax credit on input services,

i wana to know two things about service tax credit

1. Is there any boundation for the Source of Payment made to service provider such as bill amount only paid thr Cheque or Demand draft or Cash.

2. is there any boundation for the time limit of payment of Bill such as payment of Invoice should be paid within one month of bill date etc.

plz clear these two things to me

Hi,
Kindly let me know, when a service provider charges service tax on bill amount, the person paying should deduct TDS on total bill amount ( Basic + service tax) or on bill amount excluding service tax.

Your reply would be appreciated.

Thanks.
