We are into a hotel industry. We have to pay charges for advertisement on foreign website. Now since the website is run in country other than India, Will it be termed as Services Used in India based on the fact that payment is to be made by establishment in India ??

If it will be covered under Import of Services under which provision it will be taxable ??

Also, the advertisement period is before 24th Feb 09, which rate of tax will be appliable in this case ??

If we have paid any service tax on behalf of non-resident as Import of Service, Can we take the Input Credit of the same ??
Also, can we adjust such credit against other can be adjusted against payment of other services ??

What entries to be made into books. Please explain with example...

Which form should be used for claiming refund of service tax paid on specified services by the exporter of goods. (Notification no. 41/2007 dtd 06/10/2007).

One of my client have collected Service tax on rent of immovable property in the month of April 09 after the high court order, which he was not suppose to do because the DH has held rent on commercial immovable property unconstitutional.

Now he asked me should he deposit that ST to government or refund back to the party.

In my opinion:
The service tax collected should be deposited to the govt within due date and henceforth he should not collect ST from the party unless and until Supreme Court gives contradictory order to DHC.

Am I Correct?

Kindly let me know that how can we surrender service tax number & what the process for the same.

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much.
to put in a more elaborate manner:

a) We are entering into an commission agreement with a foreign company X.

b) X Company which out of country has to supply certain materials for the purpose of installation to Y company in india.

c) We are to take care of support services regarding logistics, payment, etc... on behalf of X company in india.

d) Invoice will be raised on X Company by us.

MY QUERIES ARE:
1) Can we raise the invoice in Foreign currency.

2) Is service tax applicable.

3) Will X company deduct tax and pay the balance while remitting the amount to us.

we were given one market survey assignment to a marketing company. apart from charges, there claimed traveling expenses separately with service tax. kindly clarify that whether service tax will be applicable on reimbursement expenses ( separate bill)

Sir ,
Processing on goods supplied by the manufacturing unit is exempted vide noti.no.8/2005 vide explanation II .But here meaning of supply is to be interprated more in case if the factory is spread over in Big area and it given work to someone for processing on job basis i.e.completion of work basis and billing by the service provider on the completion of work basis on monthly basis.the factory is clearing the processed goods ultimately by paying duty to excise department.as the act has mentioned that service tax will not be liable he service provider make process on the goods supplied by the manufacturer and he pay the excise duty after processing of goods .
In the present case the movement of raw mat./semi finish is in the premises itself whether it will meant as supply of goods ?
my e-mail id is gargbk2001@yahoo.com

We are registered for 6 (six) services. At present we file separate return for each service manually.

Please help me.
