Please help me by giving detail knowledge.

Due date for return of service tax for the period of oct 12 to march 13, and when will be the st3 form will be updated on site?
And whether after 1st July return are to be made quarterly or half yearly?

Our company is into trading of IT and Consumer Electronic Goods ie laptops, desktop, printers and get order from all over India to supply the product. Before dispatching the goods ie laptops/printer our company uses a polythene ie thinner to cover the product and if box received from our supplier is in damaged condition then uses cello tape so that the same does not get damaged and product is intact. We do not charge anything extra from the customer to cover the product but just as an extra security measure do this activity and incur Packing Expense for it.

Now, a question arises whether this is taxable service under service tax act under the category Packaging Service?

Dear Experts,

One of our employee worked from Oct, 12 to March 13 but didn't get salary in between due to financial reasons & his 6 month salary paid in the month of March, 2013 i.e. Rs. 20 Lacs & TDS deducted Rs. 4.4 lacs approx.

I would like to ask, whether his salary should be booked in monthly basis & TDS deduct on monthly basis & TDS deposit with interest Or we can book 6 months salary on March 13 and deposit TDS without interest within April, 13.

Waiting for your early response.
