what will be service tax treatment while deducting retention money and cenvat credit rule.

A restaurant bill for food (excluding VAT , Service Tax,etc) amounts to Rs.1000/- (say) & service charge is seperately shown in bill @10% on above I.e. Rs. 100/- and after that VAT is charged. Now my question is whether service tax (which is 5.26%) will be charged on Rs. 100 (I.e. Rs. 5.26/-) or on Rs. 1100 (1000 + 100). Since Service Charges are shown seperately, Service Tax should be charged on Service element only. But the restaurant bill shown Service Charges separately but charged Service Tax on total amount Rs.1100. Kindly advise me in this regard Regards CA Viplov Surana

My client's company works for custome clearance and charges for the same. Sometimes it also make online payment of Custom duty on the behalf of their customer and accepts the check for this from customers.

Is my client a pure agent as he is paying custom duty on behalf of their customer for which he is not charging any thing.

Is he liable to charge service tax on the payment made by him

We are a small Transporter. Do I require compulsorly to sumbit Return even if it is nil amount. in fact Service tax is being paid by the consignor for goods transportation.
