Dear Freinds,



We are into Restaurant Business, we usually take credits of all the services received like, professional fees, telephone, consultancy, office internet, etc against the monthly payment of servece tax collected from guest with the abatement of 60% i.e., 12.36*40% = 4.944%, we collect from the guest.



My question is recently our Import got stuck with customs and they had charged us Detention and Demmurage charges, whether we can take input tax credit of service tax paid on these charges ?



Also, can we avail the credit of Import duty and Excise duty paid during the month on the purchases.



Please reply.



Regards,

Deepak Gangwani

Is exemption of 10lac on sales allowed to a dealer proving restaurant service, if its previous year gross sales was 20 lac ?

Suppose some builder has before getting completion certificate from the competent authority, taken advances from 3 flat booking parties, then he builder will be liable to service tax. But, as regards the remaining 10 flats, the builder has not taken any booking charge from any party and he gets the entire consideration of flat selling after getting completion certificate from competent authority. All 13 flats are part of a single site.
Then for 10 flats which are sold after getting completion certificate, service tax is payable?
