Dear Expert,

Our client has provided service to MES which was taxable from 01.03.2015 which was exempt retrospectively.
We have applied for refund of service tax paid due to insertion of section 159 of Finance Act, 2016
In which basic documents required for applying is
Contract entered into before the 1st day of March, 2015 and on which appropriate stamp duty, where applicable, had been paid before that date.


In which it was specifically mentioned that stamp duty should be paid where applicable ? ?

My question is ? ? ?

Whether there is any clause in Registration Act 1908 along with Stamp duty Act 1958 which require that contract executed between MES department and client is compulsorily to be registered . .

Please give your valuable suggestion

Thanking You

Respected Sir

Please guide me upon issue is notice period recovery comes under service tax payment.

 The definition of service as per Section 65 B (44) of the Finance Act, 1994 specifically excludes “provision of service by an employee to the employer in the course of or in relation to his employment”. Therefore, service tax is not applicable on the provision of service by an employee to the employer in the course of employment. However, if an employer is rendering any services to the employee and recovers money from the employee then service tax is payable on such recoveries by the employer.

But

 Recovery of notice pay amount from the employee when resigning from employment - The activities of agreeing to the obligation to refrain from an act, or to tolerate an act or a situation, or to do an act are declared as services effective 1st July 2012. This activity will get covered under obligation to do an act. Therefore, the employer is liable to pay service tax on the recovery of notice pay amount from the employee.

Please guide me further on this matter.

Warm regards
Naveen Shori

I am air travel sub agent, as I purchased tickets from IAAT agent.
And I sold those tickets to my client, on profit or loss whatever the condition is.
Whether I am covered under Service Tax or Sales Tax?

Dear Experts, Please let us know can we take CENVAT of service tax paid on car hiring charges and rental charges under reverse charge mechanism scheme. Since these input services do not have any nexus with the output service provided as our company comes under manufacturing industry. Please let us know that setoff is allowed to pay excise or not.
