Dear Sir,

For making Steel in a Factory in Maharashtara, an Oxygen & Nitrogen Gas Plant is required. The Steel Factory wants to invite Vendor of such Oxygen Plant to enter in a BOOT Agreement(Build, Own, Operate & Transfer)whereby the Vendor owns the plant, run it for 2-3 years and then transfer it. During this period they will get the Operation & maintenance Charges for continuous supply of Oxygen & nitrogen Gas of required quantity.

My question are -

In case the Gases - Oxygen & Nitrogen are produced by Vendor, will it require the Excise Reg and payment of Excise Duty by them ? In this case the premises of their plant is in our factory it self so will they get separate Reg ?

In case it attracts Excise Duty then they have to sell the Gases which would also include the VAT ?

In case they are paid monthly fixed charges for continuous supply of gases as Operation & Maintenance, how will it be treated from Excise, Vat and Ser. Tax point ?

The proposed BOOT Agreement provides that the Plant will be the Vendor till it is transferred.

When after 3 years the same is transferred, will it be chargeable to Excise Duty ? Though there is no clearance ? The Plant as assembled and erected is being transferred. ?

Please clarify.

As we know service tax is paid only when consideration for service is received. if no consideration is received no service tax liability arises.

At the time of billing we credit service tax account and provide service tax liability in the books of account whereas there is no service tax liability arises at the time of billing.

Please suggest proper accouting treatment of service tax so that liability can be created in the books of account only when it actually arises.

Sir,
Pls correct me if I am wrong,
1.Service tax is excempted upto 10 lakhs of taxable services but can't avail CENVAT credit.
2.Any time during the year if taxble services exceeds ten lakhs, service tax is applicable on the balance exceeding 10 lakhs.

Thanks & Regards,
