Hi,
My relative is a contractor providing the service of operation and maintenance of electrical substations in technopark (an SEZ). The substation is installed in the leased premises of technopark. The electricity is metered and billed by KSEB and service tax is not collected on the same since it is covered by the clause 11 of the negative list. Can he avail exemption since it is incidental to a service covered by the negative list ? Can he avail exemption on the basis of services provided inside a SEZ ? Is there any other option by which he can claim exemption? Please give your opinions.

Hello sir, Kindly help me out with this..i would like to know if any kind of exemption can be availed for services provided to a charitable trusts,for eg : if a contractor provides service of constructing a biogas plant to a charitable trust..whether such services are exempt and should the construction company shall charge service tax to the trust and if yes then what at rate..

Thankyou.

We are a manufacturing concern ,& also providing taxable service of renting of commercial properties to some other companies. The total services provided by us doesn't exceed Rs. 10 lacs threshold. However, we are paying crores of rupees on reverse charge basis for services availed by us. Is it mandatory for us to issue taxable invoice to the tenant companies ? Are we liable to pay the service tax on rent ?

क्या आप मेरी सर्विस टैक्स से सम्बन्ध्तित सवाल का समाधान कर सकते हैं. हमारी कंपनी सर्विस रिसीवर हैं। हम फ्रेट आउटवर्ड और कुछ सप्लायर को सर्विस टैक्स के साथ भुगतान करते हैं। तो मेरा सवाल यह हैं की जब हम सर्विस टैक्स का भुगतान करे तो क्या हम सप्लायर को भुगतान किये गए का सर्विस टैक्स से एडजस्ट केर सकते हैं
उदहारण के लिए
सप्लायर को की गए भुगतान= 400
सर्विस टैक्स अक्टूबर माह का =600
तो क्या हम (600-400) २०० का भुगतान अक्टूबर माह के सर्विस टैक्स का केर सकते हैं। हम केवल सर्विस रिसीवर हैं.

We are Pvt. Ltd. Company & registered in Service tax under Transport of goods by road & paying Service Tax accordingly.

If we take services like : -
1) security services from manpower recruitment agency.
2) Advocate Service.

Should we take registration also for above 2 services under reverse charges?

Please advise what course of action to be taken in this regard.

Waiting for experts response.

Dear Sir/Madam

Ours is a animal feed manufacturing industry. We procure raw materials through wagon/good carriage. Does service tax applicable on those charges paid.

Thanks.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Ours is a animal feed manufacturing industry. We procure raw materials and give it to a processor who in turn manufactures and gives finished product to us, which is sold directly to customer. We pay processing charges to him which includes Loading and un loading charges and production charges. Our final product is NIL rate product (no excise duty is applicable). In this scenario, would there be any implications of Service tax and whether Service tax notification no.8/2005 would be applicable?
