Is there any limit for exemption of service tax for JOB WORK

As per notification of 1.03.2015 work contract carried out for Govt Authorities were removed from Exemption List. Now Work Contract for Construction of College under HPPWD by a Contractor is also liable for Service Tax. My query is whether service tax will be charged on the contracts awarded before 01.04.2015 and if yes then will it be charged under reverse charge mechanism (i.e. whether PWD will be considered as body corporate or not)?

Quick response will be highly appreciated.

Dear Sir/Madam,

We are providing paying guest accommodation facility in bangalore under a charitable trust registered U/s 80G. We are collecting Rs 3500/ month from inmates without food. food expenses charging based on total expenditure incurred for that. can anyone clear the applicability of service tax and VAT for this. Mega exemption will applicable on this or not?

as per work contract provisions service tax is payable 50% by service provider and 50% by service receiver.As mentioned above 50% is payable by service provider then whether that 50% will be charged by the service provider in the bill means 100% will go out from the pocket of the contractee.

Dear Sir

Dear All,

I have one query relating to applicability of Service Tax on the services provided by an Export Buying House as under:

We are planning to form an Export Buying House in India which will provide services to foreign clients in the matter of arrangement of Sample products, quality check and speedy export of the product and in lieu of these services, proposed Export Buying House will raise bill on the foreign client in foreign currency. Since the Foreign Buyer is not having any branch or office in India, the bill will be sent by email to the foreign party and payment for the bill will be made by the foreign buyer within certain period.

My query is that since the location of the service provider is within India, services are provided within Indian territory but the foreign buyer is located outside India without having any branch or office in India, IN THIS CASE, IS SERVICE TAX APPLICABLE ON THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE EXPORT BUYING HOUSE AND IS IT LIABLE TO PAY SERVICE TAX ON ITS RECEIPTS FROM THE FOREIGN CLIENT.

Thanks and regards

Raj
