DEAR EXPERTS,

IN THE RECENT BUDGET, I NOTICED THAT MOST OF THE AMENDMENTS MADE IN THE CENTRAL EXCISE ACT COME INTO EFFECT FROM THE NEXT DAY OF THE BUDGET ITSELF (FOR EXAMPLE: CHANGE OF RATE IN CENTRAL EXCISE CAME TO EFFECT FROM 01.03.2015), BUT IT IS NOT SO IN SERVICE TAX, WHY?


THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

I Have quary about New Service Tax rate
Kindly guide me

01) From where it is applicable (14 % )

02) It is 14% or its is 14.42% (Serivce tax + CESS + HCESS)

03) What is swachha bhatat cess ?

If Service Provider is situated in Mumbai and providing hiring services (equipment hire) to the service receiver based in Srinagar, whether service tax is applicable or not?

Can we deposit service tax for the invoice raised on 31 march in the month of April or it should be deposit on the same day. Please suggest the appropriate one with provision of law.

Present rate.of service tax & effective date(ref notification no)

When is 14% ST rate would be applicable, is it from 1st Apr15 or later date.

we have hired cars on contract with the registered owners of the vehicle for the use of business and paying reverse charge @40%. The CENVAT credit taken on the reverse charge paid was objected by the Audit team on the ground that it is available only to those who are engaged in transportation service like fleet owners. Plz explain.

Dear sir
in respect of work contract under reverse charges the service provider has charged 100% service tax instead of 50%, but mistakenly the service recipient has also paid this 100% service tax amount to service provider under reverse charges.
please let me know. can service recipient (company) avail 100% cenvat credit or not if not also tell me the procedure to rectified it.

plz reply urgently
