The assessee is a landlord he let out his complex to the super market for commercial purpose.
Hence he has to collect the service tax along with the rent...

But In this case the tenant(super market) has obtained a stay order from the court stating that they are not liable to pay the service tax..

Now my question is?
Whether the Assessee (landlord) has to remit the service tax from his own pocket (or) he is not liable to pay by stating the stay order obtained by the super market....

Would like to know what is the rate of service tax to be charged by an IATA air Ticketing agent after the reduction of service tax to 10%.

Dear All

We are registered under the service tax act for the following services-"Erection & Commissioning" "Works Contract" and "Consulting Engineers"
In this connection I would like to know that can Service tax paid on all the input services be claimed as set off. Similarly we have been told that one can take set off of 20% of service tax paid on input services and not 100%. We are also paying excise duties but since our final product is exempted we are not charging any excise duty at the time of sale. So can this excise duty paid on purchases can be claimed as set off against service tax collected under the above services

Is service tax or vat or both are applicable to clinical labs and sonography centres?

For last couple of years, we have been charging Service Tax on Total Air Fare (of Domestic/ International Flights).

Now we have come to know that Service Tax is to be charged only on the BASIC AIR FARE. After checking with my associate Agents I realised that they are changing Service Tax/ Cess on Basic Air Fare (as per Service Tax Rules).

Kindly advise if I should also charge Service Tax on Basic Air Fare.

If Yes, would I be questioned by Service Tax Deptt. as to why we have changed our practice and started charging on Basic Air Fare.

Kindly Advise.

Anurag

I'm a Tour Operator and use the facility of Abatement on all the services we provide. Hence Cenvat Credit is not applicable on the service I provide.

Here my question is that we pay bills (e.g. Telephone Bills) in which we also pay Service Tax & Cess.

As these Telephones are installed in office and are used for office purpose, CAN WE TAKE THE CENVAT CREDIT OF THE SERVICE TAX/ CESS PAID AS A PART OF THE TELEPHONE BILLS???

Kindly Advise.

Regards,

Anurag
