I got a brief reply to my query below indicating I should look up a site. I obviously HAVE looked up the site BEFORE I wrote the query and so the reply was completely unhelpful. Is there anyone who can respond to my questions below in a more pointed form

Background:
I am an independent writer/author (on social issues), trainer, researcher, etc who takes up assignments that last from a few days to a few months – only with non-profits and academic institutions. While carrying out such assignments, I sometimes need to employ a research assistant or support staff for specific assignments. These usually last for a few days or at the most a few months. I usually pay them a fixed amount for the assignment –paying it over the period of the assignment. The amounts would almost inevitably be more than Rs. 5000/-

However, I have no regular employees, since each time I take different persons. Neither am I registered as a company. I myself am paid per assignment by the concerned non-profit organization when the assignment is completed.

As far as my income is concerned, in the last financial year it was above Rs. 15 lakhs (though this year it will most probably be less than 15 lakhs).

Up until this year, I did NOT fall under any of the categories listed out for Service Tax. However, this year because of the ‘negative list’ I fall under the category of “other than in the negative list”. Accordingly when I reached an income of Rs. 10 lakhs in this financial year, I registered for Service Tax, and pay that on all amounts earned above Rs. 10 lakhs in this financial year.

I have also registered online for TAN and have sent my documents as required. I am now awaiting the registration number.

The registration for ST and TAN were done in December 2012 and January 2013 respectively.

Query
In the light of the above background, I write to ask

a) I have looked in the Schedule 1 of the Professional Tax list of professions that must pay Professional Tax and I Do NOT fall in any of those categories. However, there is a category # 21 which reads as follows:
"Persons other than those mentioned in any of the preceding entries who are engaged in any profession, trade, calling or employment and in respect of whom a notification is issued under the second proviso to sub-Section (2) of Section 3."

I am not able to find "Section 3 and Sub-section (2)". Therefore
(i) Can you give me the link where I can find the second proviso to sub-Section (2) of Section 3.this Section 3,
(ii) Am I liable to register to pay professional tax for myself or for those I employ as explained above – and who are not really regular employees of mine?
(iii) Do I need to register for PTRC and PTEC?


b) If I DO have to register for PTEC then I understand that the payment of Rs. 2500 has to be paid before June 30 of every financial year. As I did not have anybody working under me in June 2012, and the next June 30, would be in the next financial year, do I have to pay the Rs. 2500/- and by when. Of course this query holds only IF I have to register for PTEC.

c) Is it possible to register online for the same (IF I have to register) and do I still have to go to the office in Mazgaon (since I stay in Mumbai) to submit documents personally. Can I send the documents by speed post as was done in the case of the TAN registration?

d) Also with regard to the documents to be submitted, I have the following queries (IF I have to register)
i) Is the PAN card and e-acknowledgement enough for a person like me?
ii) They have asked for proof of residence. In my case the residence we are staying in is in the name of my wife - so I have not proof of my own residence. Also my work place is the same as my residence.
iii) They have asked in ENTRY No. 1 for name and address of the employers and the monthly salary received from them etc. I have no monthly salary. And every year different groups are hiring me for short periods. So what kind of information do I submit.
iv) I also have NO COMPANY, but am working under my own name – so what document do I submit.

Any clarification would help.
Thanks again

The service tax from 12.36% has been reduced to 6.18%, where as the balance 6.18% has to be paid by the Purchaser. Kinly explain

Dear Sir,

I have certain clarification, please find the below points,

‘A’ is an export company, if they want to export the material to other country. Since, ‘A’ is purchasing from ‘B’ (other state) & exporting.

In this case, ‘B’ will charge ED 12.36% + 2% CST. If ‘A’ wants to avoid these duties & taxes (without taking credit in CENVAT) in this case is it possible to avoid certain taxes by export the material directly from ‘B’ to customer place (Abroad)- ‘A’s customer site and mention in Invoice as Customer is ‘A’ (INDIA) & delivery address is other country.

Please let me know what and all major documents to be done by ‘A’ from central excise department for shipment.

Your earliest & valuable feedback is highly appreciated.

Best Regards
Naresh
