A Company in the business of manufacturing of excisable / non excisable goods.

The Company is paying Service tax to Job Work Charges / Labour Charges for excisable / non excisable goods

Can this company avail the benefit of CENVAT Credit against service tax payable to Goods Transpot Agency. ??

Please explain with rules / section framed under Service tax Rules

(1) X Company provides taxable service to Y Company. In turn, Y Company provides taxable services to lakhs of its (Y)Customers.

(2) X Company did not collect and pay Service Tax (about Rs 4 lakhs pm)to the Department. Y Company was collecting Service Tax (about Rs 6 lakhs pm) from its (Y) Customers and paying over the same to the Department regularly

(3) X Company did not ask Y Company to pay Service Tax. So Y Company did not pay Service Tax to X Company and therefore did not claim credit for Input Tax

(3) Now the Department served a Notice to X Company to pay Service Tax WITH RETROSPECTIVE EFFECT.

(4) For future period, Y Company has no objection to pay Service Tax to X Company since Y Company can claim credit for Input Tax, that is, deduct the amount paid (Rs 4 lakhs pm) from amount collected (Rs 6 lakhs pm) and pay only net amount (Rs 2 lakhs pm).

(5) Now problem is about arrears for the old period.

(6)Both X Company and Y Company want to continue to cordial relations. Kindly advise to get over the problem

can anyone send me a downloadable form R of service tax for claiming refund
and briefly explain the procedure for filing this and claiming refund through this form

Hi,
I have couple of queries on service tax.

1. Whether I can ask for an refund from service which is wrongly paid by me. This is first year. In this case I had paid for whole amount instead of paying on above 8 lakh which is the exemption limit. I had collected amount from debtors. But they had not paid me service tax upto 8 lakh and i had wrongly paid. Which form and circular or case study if any.

2. Whether I can take a set-off of service tax paid on Rent expenses paid to Diretor against service tax that need to be paid which is collected on commission. They are at the same office.

Please let me know ASAP.

Thanks,
Hemal Parikh
