Is Hostel fees collected by a Commecrial Coaching Centre liable for Service tax...Invoice is raised in the name of the student for tuition fees and hostel fee separately...u can easily bifurcate the tuition fees and hostel fees separately...

Joint Commissioner of Central Excise , customs and Service tax has issued a show cause notice for payment of service tax on Hostel fees collected also...it is tenable or not...

We are in Tour operator services accordingly provide the CAB, Hotel, Ticketing to customers. Question is whether for CAB, Ticketing services we need separate registration and accordingly billing would be done separately for each services or not,
As the rates of Services tax are different for each category of services.

Hi all,

Kindly resolve the following problem:

Suppose X company received Rs.1 lac from Y company for the purpose of execution of taxable service. X company has approached to Y company that it is registered with service tax authority and need to collect and remit service tax. X company given an offer to Y company that Rs.1 lac will be the maximum billing inclusive of service tax. Y co. is not willing to accept this proposal. X co. has already deposited the the amount into bank. Now on 5th of next month what X co. will do?
1. Should it deposit proportionate s.tax?
2. It should not, because entire money is to be refunded to Y co. as Y co. is not agreeing with the service terms.
3. X Co. should wait for the time being without depositing tax. When the deal is final then it should deposit s.tax with interest.
4. Is there any provision in S.Tax that when full amount is to be refunded to the service recipient then no need to deposit s.tax on amount receipt in advance.

Thanks.

Service tax provides exemption on the amount of services provided by the assessee. If an assessee is below exemption limit, is it necessary to file nil service tax return. If assessee has not filed service tax return for say two to three years, can he cancel his registration? Can officer will ask for nil returns. Is there any penalty.

I am a proprietorship firm with current billing below 10L rupees (around 8L current billing). I have to raise an invoice for services for Rs. 2.5 (single bill). I want to know-

1. Should I apply for service tax registration now or after billing this amount which will take me above 10L?
2. On what amount will service tax have to be charged and paid? On entire 2.5L or only on the excess over 10L, i.e. on Rs. 50,000 only?

Is their some specific rule on item 2 above?

Your help and clarification is deeply appreciated.
