We used to avail services of outside (foreign) consultants. Please clarify service tax liability with respect to fees, reimbursment of expenses like travelling, telephone etc to such consultant.

We are having service tax number as input service distributors

we have to file returns of the same .

we take credit of services provided to us ( at our office address )and than transfer these credits to our factory location by raising a invoice.

in that case are we needed to file returns and if so under which notification

Can any one suggest me that according to "Declaration under notification No 32/2004-Service Tax" transport of goods by road service under the provisions of the Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 during the period 01/04/2005 to 31/03/2006.

Now my Question is that it is neccesary to Deposite Service tax for the above services, when we receive material from supplier we have to deposite Service tax for the same with form no. ST3 also we are engaged in Builders & Developers Group so plz slove my question.

Dear Friends,

My company is registered under service tax act as service recepient for transport of goods by road.

During the year our company has imported some machinery from Italy and paid a sum of Rs. 20 lacs as technical fee for installation of machinery in India by Italian Engineer and deposit the service tax on that amount.

My query is whether my company required to get a separate registration number for technical fee paid to non-resident.

Secondly if No separate registration is required than how I can show the technical fee paid amount in my service tax return.

thanks in advance

Hii group members,
We are unit in SEZ and hence service tax is exempt in our case. My question is that if we are paying freight to GTA then whether we are liable for service tax or not.
We have a centralised cum ISD registration which was taken for distribution of credit to other non exempt units. Will this registration is ok for GTA matters(in case we are liable for tax)or we require to take another registration?
