Hi,

As per service tax rules, in case of goods transport service the service receiver(Consignor or consignee) is required to pay service tax on the transporters bill amt. Now, if a consignor pays transporters bill directly but recovers the amt from consignee, then who will be liable to pay service tax on the service charges?

Is construction of stadium to host international games liable to service tax? Is it not coming under the definition of infrastructure?

if we can take the credit of service tax on the freight outward up to the place of the removal (it could be the doorstedp of consignee)

whts the issue of credit of freight outward????


pls advice

we are mfg/exp and using the transportation services from the various transportars
we are paying the service tax as the service used from GTA

we are taking the input credit on freight inward and not taking the input credit on freight outward tax which is being paid by us

some of our transporters have the service tax number and they are charging the service tax from us from their bills

i want to know that have we to pay the service tax on the amout on which the service tax charged by the transporter and can we take the credit on that amount or we should not pay the tax to the transporter and should deposit it myself

if we can take the credit of service tax on the freight outward up to the place of the removal (can be the doorstedp of consignee)

whts the issue of credit of freight outward????


pls advice

We have appointed a Professionals at site out of india, We deduct TDS on Prof. Fees paid to Him as he is on contract as on now.I want to know that If he is Paid Fees more then 10 lacs he has to avail Service tax No. for being appointed as professional on contract or he should be treated as employee which is beneficiary in both cases.

What is company laible for taking the proof as if we pay more then 10 lacs as fees?

1. DOES ANY SOFTWARE DOWNLOADED FROM THE INTERNET ALONG WITH ITS KEY AND SUBSEQUENTLY SOLD ATTRACT SERVICE TAX? THESE TRANSACTIONS ARE DONE CONTINOUSLY AS BUSINESS.

2. WHETHER ANY TDS TO BE DEDUCTED ON PAYMENTS MADE FOR PURCHASE OF SOFTWARE THROUGH THE NET AND SOLD SUBSEQUENTLY?

FOR BOTH THE ABOVE QUERIES VAT/CST WILL BE PAID ON THE SALE MADE IN INDIA.

The High court has given the decision that no service tax is leviable on the renting of commercial property hence forth. So will this be applicable to all over India or just in Delhi.

And if yes and according to this order we do not charge service tax on the rent but if the government challenges this order in the Supreme Court, which is more likely then what will be required to do after that. Can we charge/ adjust in the subsequent invoices.

One more thing the DH says that that this order is applicable with retrospective effect from the day the tax was levied on commercial property rental.

Please do reply in brief.

Dear Sir,

Dear Professional colleagues

Assessee is an event management company. The company hosts events for which it collects registration fees from the individual participants and also collects sponsorship fees from various participants basically corporate and non corporate entities. As a result, these entities can advertise there products and services.

My query is

Is registration fees subject to service tax
If so which chapter
Is sponsorship fees subject to service tax if so which chapter

Thanks and regards

As per Rule 2(1)(d), the receiver of sponsorship service is liable to pay service tax on the services received. Are they required to deduct the service tax amount from the amount payable.

For eg, A P Ltd has raised invoice on Shika, the service receiver for Rs. 2,00,000. Service tax is not charged as service provider is not liable to pay service tax.

Shika, instead of paying A P. Ltd (200000 less TDS applicable ), pays them (200000 Less TDS Less Service tax).

Is this correct? The payment of service tax is the liability and burden to be borne by service receiver.

In my view, Shika is not supposed to deduct service tax from the amount payable to A P. Ltd. Please comment whether my contension is correct or wrong
