Dear Sir,
I am seeking clarification related to Service tax on Construction.
I booked an apartment in Chennai during June '08 through "Agreement to Sell". Total apts in the complex is 56. During Aug '08, I registered the same through "Sale Deed". I have the break-up of land (i.e. the cost as in the stamp paper) and construction cost, as provided by the builder.
Considering the recent circular, Should I have to pay service tax through Builder. If so, how do i calculate based on the cost available with me. This calculation will help me to verify the amount requested by builder. Secondly, can i ask for service tax receipt in my name from the builder.
Your response will be highly helpful.
Regards,
Bhaskar

One of our customer has paid service tax for 15 months when he cames to know that he is liable to pay.This is due to service tax paid on immovable property.Can we take credit upon payment with Excise duty liability?
The period 15 months as mentioned earlier also covers 10 months prior to registeration during which he was not registered with service tax dept.
Please clarify with relevent tule or case laws

Sir,
My client is rendering works contract to some of Telcos. And the payment advice they gave me shows that a company is deducting WCT from 01.01.2007 whereas date of applicability of WCT is from 01.06.2007. i m bit confused how to handle such case.

Some of the invoices issued by the service providers, don't show the Service Tax payable seperately. Instead it is mentioned in the invoice that "the above charges are inclusive of Service Tax @ 10.3%."

The department is denying cenvat credit on such document, as the invoice should contain the Service Tax payable seperately as per rule 4A of STR,1994.

My query is whether the word "The service charges are inclusive of Service Tax" is enough to avail the Cenvat Credit. Please clarify my doubt with relevant provision.

Thanks in advance.
