Dear Sir,

We are resellers of Microsoft Software (E-Licenses). We are billed by the distributor and further we bill to the customer. Distributor charge us ST and VAT both on the software as it is service and product both. We have checked it is the same way in other part of the country. however once of our client has marked a mail mentioning that

"Under Section 93 of the finance Act,1994,so much of the value is exempt from taxable service
As is equal to the value of goods and materials sold by the service provider.
(Notification no.12/2003 ST dtd.20/06/2003 effective from 01/07/2003.

If service tax is not leviable,then as per Notification no.12/2008 CE dtd.01/03/2008 read with notification no.
49/2006-CE dtd.30/12/2006 Excise duty at the rate of 12% is applicable on off the shelf software under tariff heading 8523.

As S4U does not have excisable turnover so the excise duty is also not applicable."

Please suggest need your help

Good Morning to all,
will any one tell us what would be the procedure or applicability of service tax on DOCTORS followed?

There is a educational and charitable trust. It is receiving legal services from individual advocates. Now the question is that " whether the educational trust is covered under BUSINESS ENTITY under reverse charge?" .
Will it make any difference if trust is registered for renting of immovable property(commercial activity) under Service Tax and regularly collecting service tax from its tenants?

Whether service tax credit is available when payment for premium paid for policy taken of group gratuity scheme for employees to Lic?
