One of our clients are engaged in construction of residential complexes. They have not filed their ST-3 from FY 2009-10 onwards. But they have paid their S.Tax dues timely after considering the CENVAT credit on input services received(payment to sub contractors). Please suggest Whether we can online file their service tax return ???

Please do enlighten me on following aspects

1) Mr. A carries on business of buying & selling tickets – of Airlines , Railways & Long route Travel Buses .
He gets discount from the Main Agent ( say IATA agent for Air Tickets ) & after adding his profits , sells the same to customers .
The Service Tax Act puts ‘ Trading of Goods ‘ in the Negative List , i.e., not liable to Service Tax .
The Same Act defines ‘Goods’ as follows :
“ Goods ” means every kind of movable property other than actionable claim and money ; and includes securities , growing crops , grass and things attached to or forming part of the land which are agreed to be severed before sale or under the contract of sale .
Can one argue that his business is of buying & Selling Tickets ( which is a Movable Property ) , he is not liable to Service Tax ?

2) In a case decided by Ahmedabad Tribunal , the following remarks form part of judgment :
THE term ‘ Trading ‘ means the act of buying and selling . It involves the selling of goods in the same form as it was purchased .Thus , no further processing is done thereupon .
Though , the term trading activity has been included in the definition of the exempted services ; yet it is not explained as to what will be counted as a “ trading activity “ . In common parlance , trading activity is the sale of goods in the same form as they are purchased . Thus , if any goods that are purchased are sold as it is , it will be termed as trading activity .

Hello,

Can any one please let me know what would be the tax implications on sale of flats by builders after obtaining certificate of completion from a competent authority and the entire consideration for sale is received after obtaining such completion certificate..?

Will it be treated as sale of stock in trade?

what tax liabilities arise to such builder on such sale?

Before obtaining completion certificate the builder is liable to pay Sales Tax along with service tax and VAT?


Thanks and Regards,
Manasa.
