When total material is supplied by the customer to service provider ( who has obtained service tax regn. under "Outdoor Caterer",) the service provider is executing the order ( i.e.preparing food items ) only on labour charges basis.

1.Whether it amounts to taxable service ?

Note :The customer ( to whom the services are provided )is not selling the food (i.e. finished products) to anybody but serving at Seminar / Conferences.

Hi all. I have one query to you people.

Company X has two divisions i.e. export of product and export of service. That Comapny takes input credit of service tax on both divisions. But there is no output service tax to set off these.(since export of service is exempt). Now my question is;

1. whether that company can take whole input credit of service tax on both the division? because first divison is exporting product ?

2. Whether export of product is taxable under service tax?( If i say clearly product division means a packaging unit)

3. Can company get refund of whole service tax input credit from the department?

Thanks

MY COMPANY TRANSPORTATION SERVICE RECD. FROM TRANSPORTER ON PURCHASES & SALES OF GOODS.
1. WHO IS LIABLE TO PAY SERVICE TAX?/
2. WHAT IS LIMIT????
3. SERVICE TAX NUMBER IS MANDATORY IF COMAPNY LIABLE TO PAY SERVICE TAX??

We are involved in trading of boxes. we sell goods in south. the bills raised include packing & forwarding charges @ 10%. Hence the bill is basic amount + 2% CST + 10% packing and forwarding.
We transport the same through transporters fixed by us who raise monthly bills.
Whether service tax is applicable on this packing & forwarding amount?
