my company is paying prof. fees to seafearers (staff on ship)after deducting TDS. we have paid some of sea fearers more than Rs. 10 lacs in FY 14-15 which demands charging of service tax on prof. fees.

DO my company become liable to pay service tax if seafearers :
1. have not issued invoice to us
2. are not registered with service tax.
3. not willing to pay service tax
4. have entered in contract with company as employee and company deducting TDS @10 %

I would like to know whether there is any provision in the service tax act to reverse the input on services for a service oriented company, when the expenditure is paid in full and the service remains in progress without being invoiced? if any portion of the expenses is treated as prepaid as per accounting norms whether such input credit taken needs to be reversed/

Dear All,
A direct contractor to one of the City Corporation in Tamilnadu. He undertakes maintenance jobs like fresh Water / Bore water pipeline, Cleaning of Overhead tanks on monthly basis, maintenance of borewell pumps etc. He is not registered under Service Tax. All PO offered by the Corporation is including Tax. Corporation deducts 5% towards WCT & 2% IT on payments. Payments are based on the M Book (Measurement Book) maintained by the Corporation and he does not raise any invoice or Running Bill.

My Query : Will he come under Major Exemption/Negative List or is liable to pay Service Tax?

My advertisement agency raise bill with service tax to central railway. service tax on 15% commission.
railway said they are under central government so not liable to pay service tax. so they only pay commission and not service tax on that bill. please provide any notification related to it.
