Whether Service tax leviable on this service is on 7.5% service charge or on total payment (i.e. labour payment+7.5% Sr. Charge)?.

If ST is leviable on labour payment+7.56% Sr. Charge then is there any provision for abatement in ST.

Service tax Payment Periodicity is monthly or Quarterly

Is the period for filing the service tax return has been changed to half yearly from Oct 2012?

service tax is always paid by service provider?


Separate returns will have to be filled if multiple services are provided?

are the above statement true or false
?
