Dear Sir,
i have a doubt regarding service tax liability on unloading and loading charges paid to coolie or daily labors.
actualy a dealer got material from Manuf. in purchase invoice it is clearly mentioned that freight exp wil be born by consignor so Service Tax liability is on consignor and consignor had paid service tax on freight expenses accordingly.
but in that invoice it as mentioned that unloading charges will be borne by consignee i.e. the responsibility to unload the material lies on consignee
when the lorry carrying above goods reaches to consignee godown, consignee himself arrange coollies to unload the material from Truck.
Now deptt. is asking for pay service tax on above unloading charges paid to coolies.
i would like to add here that these coollies are from unorganised sector and not having receipts more than exempted limit. And the invoice raised by GTA does not include unloading charges therefor no payment is made to GTA for unloading Charges.
deptt is saying that it is does not matter that whoever is receiver of unloading charges. it is not necessary that payment must be made to GTA.
is deptt stand correct.
shall we pay service tax on these loading and unloading charges to coollies
if yes whether 75% abatment can be claimed and exemption upto Rs 750 can be claimed

As Service Tax is reduced to 10% I want to know Is there any circular or any G.O. is there for reduction in service tax. As my owner is not agreeing to take service tax on rent at 10.30%.

Thanks.

Whether Service TAx is applicable on Cold Storage Rent on storing the vegitables i.e. patatos etc.

In february'2009 Notification issued by Service tax Dept. Regarding No Service Tax to be applicable to Contractors Who engaged in Construction of Residential Complex.

Now, Whatever Service Tax already paid under this category it is possible to apply for refund?

OR as per new notification still continue to collect service tax from customer & pay to the Govt?

Further, the registration number continue OR to submitt to the dept?

Please clarify in detail
