'Z' is giving a contract to 'X' for Rs.100 with a profit margin of 5%...'X' has sub-contracted to 'Y'. After finishing contract 'Y' raised invoice to 'X' with service tax of 10.3% which comes to 110.3%. Again 'X' will invoice 'Z' with 5% profit margin and service tax of 10.3% on the total which comes to Rs.128.04...

in this case 'Z' is paying service tax twice and is getting input credit one time only....

if it is a direct contract 'Z' has to pay Rs.115.81 only but if it is sub-contract 'Z' has to pay Rs.128.04 with differential service tax of Rs.12.23.

is there anyway to reduce the service tax or one time payment...?????

Q.1 If I am not sure about my professional fees receipt that it will cross 10lacs or not?
So should I charge SERVICE TAX from day 1 or not. & if I pay service tax and at year end my professional fees receipt does not exceed 10 lacs. Then shall I get refund of the service tax I paid?

Q.2 If for example my professional fees receipt is 13 lacs for year so should I have to pay service tax for full 13 lacs or the balance i.e 13 lacs – 10 lacs i.e only on 3 lacs. As there is rule no service tax upto 10 lacs.

Hello All:

Out company being a large tax paying unit, we have visit of the service tax authorities to our office. We had cliamed CENVAT credit for the service tax paid on the rent of the premises. this premises is not registered with the Servicetax department and hence it is not covered under the service tax registration certificate. The unregistered premises is the extension of the of our existing 100%EOU unit and the 100% unit premises is registered.

My query is can we claim the CENVAT credit for the service tax on rent of the unregistered premises on the stand that the unregistered premises is an extension of the registered premises?

Thank you all
