IN A REAL ESTATE CO,IN CONSTRUCTION SERVICE IN WHICH WE ARE AVAILING 75% ABATEMENT,WE CAN AVAIL CCR.ON INPUT SERVICE RECD.BY US FROM 01-07-2012.BUT I WANT TO ASK A QUESTION,CAN WE AVAIL CCR.ON INPUT SERVICES RECEIVED BY US BEFORE 01-07-2012 & BILL IS ALSO RAISED BY SERVICE PROVIDER BEFORE 01-07-2012, BUT BILL BOOKED BY US AFTER 01-07-2012?

under Reverse Charge Mechanism:

1) Whether S.Tax paid by the service receiver can be claimed as service tax input credit by the service receiver
2) Whether the service provider can claim as refund if he is not supposed to service tax registration
3) How to deposit the tax in what head in service receivers books
4) Any special return has to be filed
5) Any certificate to issue to that person i.e service provider

An assesee is a travels service provider on a proprietory basis, he provides services during the financial year 2011 -2012 to corporates as well as non corporate clients

So who is liable to pay service tax in both cases.

Can an automatic weather station, which informs about weather conditions to farmers & the local citizens be called as a CIVIL STRUCTURE as per clause 12 of Mega notification, as Civil structure is not defined in the Act, and as per general meaning it implies that any structure which is of benefit to public at large. and the examples are road, dams etc.

is service tax applicable, if we provide services in out of india .

Which Service under service tax covers Security Consultancy Services?..Thanks in advance.

Will this transport charges come under Reverse charge or supplier will charge transportation charges on it.
Please reply in detail

a. Pay 100% Service tax to the party.

b. Pay 75% or 25% of service tax to govt and remain only to the party.

Please suggest and also state how could i say something like to the management while doing audit.
