My organisation has engaged the servies of an Advertisisng Agency for pblishing an Ad in all leading news papers. They have made layout design and tex for the ad. While the submitting the bill, the agency did not submit a bill for service charges but submitted a bill for the tariff rates of publishers and then 15% of the total amount the bill, the service chrages was calucalated and charged to us. I argued that unless there is separate bill for services other than tariff preint media, I am notliable for service tax on the 15% of tariff value of publishrers. Am I correct. Please clarify at the eariliest.

recently a judgement had come regarding service tax to be charged on agencies preparing the hoardings and flexi boards;those person to be treated in the same way as advertising agency. if a company is reimbursing to its distributor, the expense for such hoardings and flexi boards, should the company charge service tax on it. the company is deducting TDS on such payments.

On which amount the service tax is charged by the builder for residential houses it is registered amount in the registry or the total amount paid to builder? what is rate of tax? If there is some dispute in matter to whom should the appeal be made?

Dear Colleagues

Mr.A,Mr.B,Mr.C,& Mr.D entered into a joint venture for a setting up an I.T.Park. Mr.C,& Mr.D prematuredly rertired from the J/V.At the time of retirement Mr.A,Mr.B paid lumpsum consideration of Rs.50 lacs to Mr.C.They mentioned that amount included amount payable to Mr.D.

Mr.C paid Rs.20 lacs to Mr.D towards his share in retirement consideration of Rs.50 lacs.There is written document which mentions this fact.But Mr.C while making payment deducted TDS Under sec194J.

Querry

Mr. D has an apprehension that since TDS has been deducted,service tax may be leviable.
Infact the amount he received is towards his share in retirement consideration of the Rs.50 lacs.

Is Mr.D liable to pay service tax on Rs.20 lacs he received towards his share in retirement consideration of the Rs.50 lacs ?
