I want to ask a query that if in case a party wants to give only a part of billing say 70% and dont want to pay remaining amount then what will be accounting treatment of remaining provision of service tax.

my client is engaged in composing rajasthani songs(music), he sales his music th downloading of ringtone (th internet or th mobile operator) and recieved his share, does he is liable to pay service tax on it.

If a billing on which service tax is applicable is made and only 70% is received and party is not willing to pay the remaining amount then what will be the treatment in this regard. Also tell accounting treatment & entry.

what is the present service tax rate?

If a service provider does not claim service tax in the bill raised to service receipnt as per requirement of Rule 4A of Service Tax Rules 1994, and after two year he ask the service Receipnt to make the payment of Service Tax and earlier it was could not claimed due to mistake/ oversight.
Is service Receipnt liable to pay the Service Tax now while the Service was provided two year back.or he can refuse to make the payment of service tax now saying that as to why the service Tax was not claimed alongwith the value of service as per the requirement of Rule 4A of Service Tax rules1994.

suppose that Mr. A provides a taxable service but the gross receipt is just Rs.8,00,000/-. He is also a partner in a firm also providing taxable service but the reciept of the firm is also less than Rs. 10,00,000/- say Rs. 9,50,000/-. Whether Mr. A would be liable to pay service tax or not

Dear all
we are doing jobwork for 100% EOU.job work done by us falls under ch.39 onwhich appropriate duty is 8%.The appropriate duty of excise shall not include NIL rate of duty or duty of excise is wholly exempt.
The pricipal (100%EOU) is clearing goods without payment of duty not because of goods are under nil duty or exempt.
my question is : 8/2005 can be availed ?
If not Why?

We are executing turnkey projects for construction, installation and commissioning of 33KV lines and installation of equipment. The Electricity Board has awarded contract by dividing into two portion, one is for supply portion and second one is for Erection portion. As per service tax law, the supply portion will not attract service tax and erection portion attracts service tax @10.30%. But in Erection portion there is an activity for construction of Sub-stations which the value is included material cost and labour cost.

Now, kindly clarify:
1. Can we avail 33% abatement for erection portion.
2. can we avail composite rate of tax i.e. @4.12%
3. what is the rate of tax to discharge service tax liability on the above contract.

Exemption U/N 8/2005 is not available to the jobworker if the goods cleared the pricipal are exempted goods or chargeable to nil rate of duty.
if the principal further process the goods received from the jobworker at their factory and then export the goods without payment of duty,whether ST has to be paid by the jobworker.

1.A company met expenses for the it as well as for franchisess.
2 Later on The company collects the charges from the franchisees.
3.Service tax dept wanted that the tax should be paid.
4.We paid an amt under protest based on the inclusive method (Gross amt collected includes service tax)
5. we also argued that the ST applicability not comes as we are just an intermediary for collecting and paying the charge.no addtional profit from the transaction.
My doubt is wheteher we can have follow such a view
