Hi , I took a service tax registration on 07/10/2010 but didn’t start the placement firm business .Now in Jan 2013, when I am thinking of starting it I got to know that filing service return was imp. which I didn’t do, therefore I need to give a hefty amount as penalty now . Is there a way it could be waived off as I didn’t work at all ?
Thank you
Nishant

Dear expert,

2 Chartered Accountants A & B are partners of an audit firm C. The turnover of audit firm is 7 lakhs pa and separate practice of A has an income of 4 lakhs. Since both A & C carry on audit services, can the two incomes be clubbed owing to the fact that both practices are affiliated to ICAI and hence service tax becomes applicable?

Hi, I have filed an service tax return one year ago and the status of the same is shown as 'Filed'. But today inadvertantly had done something and the status of the same return is showing as 'save'. (I do not know the cause). How can I fix this problem ?

XYZ an individual is a franchisee of Gati Ltd. He books the parcel/delivery the parcel on behalf of Gati ltd. The Point to be noted here is that, the billing while booking the parcel is done in the name of company i.e. Gati Ltd and Franchisee i.e. one who books the parcel deposits the amount received directly into the bank A/c of Gati Ltd.
The bill amount includes the Service Tax amount.

Now kindly let me know whether the Franchisee is liable to Pay service Tax on the commission received by him. kindly give your valuable advice.
