Dear Sirs,
How to Cancel the service tax invoice for the previous month which was Service tax already paid. and How can I Claim that amount of Service tax Paid already?

If after getting a fresh registration under service tax we declare our service tax liability under VCES which cover the period only upto 31-12-12, then in such case how should we file our ST3 relating to Oct12-Mar13? Should we provide the details relating to services provided during the period covered by the scheme i.e. Oct12-Dec12 in St3?

Can Client file VCES declaration if he has received communication from Superitendent Service Tax for Scrutiny in July 2012 for the year from 09-10 to 11-12 and no reply\submission made and matter is pending as on 01.03.2013. Will the matter come within scope of Section 106 (2)(a)(iii) ? Please advice.

We are in the business of trading of goods and installing services.

Whether we liable to pay service tax on services provided to educational institutions for Installation services in the F.Y 2011-12

Hello sir if goods transport service is provided by a truck owner normally who not issue any bill for this service and charged more than Rs 1500 then service tax payable on this service if yes who is liable.

Dear member,

in my Company tax department is having practice to charge ST @ 6% as recipient and service provider is also charging ST @ 6% so in total we are paying ST 12% .
Service provider shows service portion seprately and the rate is applied on service portion only but the confusion is that do we need to pay ST after abatement i.e 60% as it is for fitting of machinery and to apply 3.6% (12*60%*50%) as reverse chage applicable to us and without considering the option (Method) applied by Service provider.

also clarify about Cenvat credit of ST paid to Service provider and as per reverse charge in case 1 and case 2.

Thanks & Regards,

I have raised an invoice as follows

Device Installation Training - Rs 6007.00

Service Tax @ 12.36% - Rs 743.00(Approx)
------------------- ----------------
Total Rs 6750.00
------------------- ----------------

Please tell me whether to pay TDS for this invoice or not. If TDS is applicable , on what values it is applicable.

A body corporate, being registered under Service Tax Rules & PROVIDING the service of Goods Transport Agency can issue bills such that the liability of service tax is passed on to the recipient. The assessee is also registered for service : Goods Transport Agency.

What is Reverse Charge Mechanism?
Answer:Generally service tax is payable by the service provider.But under reverse charge the service tax is paid either solely by the service receiver or by both i.e. the service provider and the service receiver.Section 68(2) says that in respect of specified services(specified by notification 30/2012) service tax shall be paid by the service receiver at rates prescribed by Section 66 i.e @ 12.36%.
