dear sir/madam
i have not deposited any service tax since march-2014 now i want to pay servicetax of all months of first half year
but as the new rates of service tax are applicable from 1-10-14 i m confused tht whether i have to pay at new rate or old rate?

and also tht, as new rates are dependent on delay period so from which date i shoud calculate delay period for new applicable rates?

Our IATA agent is giving us commission of Say Rs 500 but on this he is deducting(Holding) Service Tax of Rs 55 i.e. Rs 500*12.36/112.36=Rs 55 and showing commission on invoice Rs 445 and on this Rs 445 Service Tax @12.36% comes to Rs 55.
This Rs 55 he will give us when we will raise invoice.
So what should be our commission income, is it Rs 500 or Rs 445.
Please guide.

Suppose there is an invoice dated sometime in the month of January but it has been booked only in the month of march. will it create any problem regarding service tax & r&d cess as the invoice dated in jan has been booked in march and there will be exchange rate fluctuations. Looking forward for your reply..

Dear Sir,
jab turnover 10 lakh se jyada ho tab service tax applicable ho jata h..mai yamaha bikes ka authorized dealer hu..hamare yaha sales, service,spares tino h..hmlog abhi tak service tax ka registration nai liye because labour charges ka turnover 10 lakh se jyada nai hua h.& customer se service tax bhi charge nai karte h..

But ek CA sir ne kaha ki aap ek branded goods sell kar rhe ho..u treat as a franchise..& is case me turnover ka exemption applicable nai h..aapko service tax registration karana hoga & labour charge & service charges par service tax lena hoga..

Please clear hamare yaha service tax applicable hoga ya nai..urgent basis.

sir,
a milk products factory is receiving services from labour contractors for supply of manpower to do packing services, loading and unloading services, cleaning tubs.
payment to them will be made on the basis of work executed to some contractors and on basis of labour supplied to other contractors.

whether the above services are taxable or not and is there any liability under reverse charge mechanism (factory is registered under mutually aided cooperative societies act)?

if taxable under which head it will be taxable (manpower supply or job works operation or any other services)

or whether those services are exempt under negative list(any process amounting to manufacture or production of goods) or not ?
