14 April 2009 Dear Friends,

My company is registered under service tax act as service recepient for transport of goods by road.

During the year our company has imported some machinery from Italy and paid a sum of Rs. 20 lacs as technical fee for installation of machinery in India by Italian Engineer and deposit the service tax on that amount.

My query is whether my company required to get a separate registration number for technical fee paid to non-resident.

Secondly if No separate registration is required than how I can show the technical fee paid amount in my service tax return.

thanks in advance

14 April 2009 Separate registration no. is not required. How ever, you need to apply for amendment of certificate, so as to add "Consulting Engineer Service".

Pending amendment, you can file the return.

Regarding your enquiry, you will need specify whether the person visiting India was a consulting engg. Or Erection and commissioning was carried out by them or Indian company in support with the Italian engineer.

You may fall in any one of the category of Consulting engg. Or Installation erection and commissioning

No doubt that service tax will have to be paid under a separate category for which registration will have to be sought by you

Your inputs are required to address your enquiry
