do sole proprietor business require service registration please inform procedure. pl inform procedure for service tax for sole proprietary businessman

We export goods in a container.
Factory stuffed container transported by road to port.
Forwarder charges us 12.36% service tax on this transport charges.
He engages different transporter.
Forwarder's claim is that as he is not GTA but a forwarder,75%abatement is not applicable to him
However the transporter charges him 25% of 12.36%.
Can this forwarder charge us 12.36% ST for transport of goods?

Mine query is regarding service tax applicabilty on seminar organised by firm of legal advocate .

One of our client a business entity has attended the seminar organised by Firm of advocates. Seminar fee has been charged and mine query is whether the seminar fee paid to the firm of advocate is in the nature of legal consultancy service and whether our client a business entity is liable to pay service tax under reverse charge mechanism as legal consultancy service received by business entity having p/y turnover exceeds Rs.1000000.

Views with relevant rules and provision if any will be worthsome. Thank you.

Dear Sir,

I have filed the ST-3 on 25.10.2013 of my client who is restaurant service provider, they are also providing the service of banquet hall but registration of client is done on single service head (under restaurant service & not in banquet hall service) because banquet hall is ancilliary to restaurant service but we charging 4.944% & 8.652% for restaurant & banquet hall services respectively and the same is timely deposited to government. If banquet hall is not provided for seminars, parties etc., then restaurant will not be able to run efficiently.

The status of ST-3 is showing as rejected due to two rates of services provided in the ST-3 (i.e. 4.944 % 8.652%).

Sir what is remedy for us ? Kindly guide us ??
