A Partnership Firm engaged in Developing properties and selling it to customers.

It charges service tax @ 3.09% from its customer on any amount received.

Can it take CENVAT Credit for paying Service tax since it has paid service tax on input services like work contractor, Security supply and manpower supply etc.?

My company is engaged in blogging and gets its income from web advertising which falls in service negative list. So no service tax is applicable. But when I try to file service tax returns for the current half year , I do not see an option to classify my income under service tax negative list. This is big problem and I am scared that I might be arrested due to this. Please guide

One of my clients is acting as a Buying Agent in India for a Principal based out of India.
His business primarily is to help his Principal, who is outside India, to buy premium see food products from India and selling them in his own country. In return, the agent gets a commission based on a %age of value of products bought.
My query is:-

1. Whether the activity carried out by the agent is a service ?

2. If yes, whether the service tax would be applicable given the fact that principal is based abroad ?

I have read somewhere that buying and selling agent's (like above) activities are out of scope of service tax.
