Dear All,

Recently we have received our first MEIS scrip from the authority .

I understand that this scrip can be used only against the Excise duty payable on domestic procurement , Customs Duty & Service Tax.

Please confirm that this scrip can not be used against excise duty payable on the sale of goods.

Can we sale the scrip ?

Further , if we use it against payment of service tax what shall be the procedure for the validation of scrip.

If we settle the service tax liability against the scrip can we take CENVAT credit for the said service tax paid through scrip.

Please reply.

Regards,

Dear Sir,

A Contractor is doing some fabrication works like Handrail, Gate etc.in a Residential Complex.
Under which head he has to take Service Tax Regn? He is doing labour contract works and works contract.

As per my knowledge, Labour Contract should be under "Erection, Commissioning and Installation Service" , and Works Contract under "Works Contract Service".

But I'am confused with the definition of 'Construction of Complex', in which all finishing works also will be included under this head.

(i) “Construction of Complex” means —
(a) construction of a new residential complex or a part thereof; or
(b) completion and finishing services in relation to residential complex such as glazing, plastering, painting, floor and wall tiling, wall covering and wall papering, wood and metal joinery and carpentry, fencing and railing, construction of swimming pools, acoustic applications or fittings and other similar services; or
(c) repair, alteration, renovation or restoration of, or similar services in relation to, residential complex;
(Section 65(30a) of the Finance Act, 1994)


Please reply

I request the learned and experienced to please clarify on the following:

An Indian Company (registered under Central Excise & Service Tax and having its office only in India) markets for the sale of products of a Foreign Company since April 2013.

The Foreign Company directly receives orders from the end customers in India.

This foreign Co. has no establishment / offices in India.

The Foreign Co. supplies the instruments to their end customer and requests the Indian Company to complete the installation and commissioning of their instruments (exported by the foreign Co. to India) at their end customers site in India. The foreign Co. pays the Indian Company in convertible foreign exchange for the Technical Services / Business Auxiliary Services.

Please clarify the following with corresponding rules and case laws, if any:

a. Can this be classified as Export of Service and hence Service Tax is not applicable.
b. If we are we Liable to pay Service Tax, can we claim credit of the same?

Regards,
Harish
