thank you for your prompt reply, GUL. if i m not mistaken there is no service tax applicable on the OCEAN FREIGHT. pl recnfm.
the service tax is on the THC [terminal handling charges] and DOC charges which is charged by the line to him and same is collected from shpr and repaid to line .
he is not pocketing the service tax collected from the shpr. he is only collecting service tax and paying to the line.
also note he is not mentioning word 'SERVICE TAX' in the bill. so is it still not correct???
also note service tax is clubbed in the THC amount and DOC amount and billed to the shpr.
if he obtains the service tax no. then on wat element the service tax is applicable to him?? also adv under which a/c head this business is covered to be liable for service tax??

pl do adv urgently.

As per Section 145A the purchases, sales and inventories to be valued inclusive of taxes, duties, cess, etc incurred or paid. VAT introduecd during the FY 2006-07. Sales effected out of opening stock also and that stock is on declaration of forms or exempted goods. Is the closing stock to be valued with VAT on such stock as well as the opening stock also. Is Vat receivable only to be added in closing stock or the actual VAT paid on closing stock should be added. Further as per new ITR in the P& L a/c the Purchase, sales, closing stock etc to be inclusive. Can we do adjustment in computation only and the net effect can be shown in adjustment. If this method is followed then will it not be treated as defective return as the P& L not prepared as required in the form.

1) mr. a is forwarder. he gets quote from shipping line say, for muscat, adds his profit margin and quotes the same to the shpr. shpr in turn picks up that line's cntr and exports his goods to muscat.

is there any type of service tax applicable on the profit margin of mr. a?

2) mr. a has not taken service tax no. can he charge the same in the invoice to the shpr as he only collects the same from shpr and pays to the shipping line.
