Rate of service tax


This query is : Resolved 

01 April 2015 is there new service tax rate apply from today and how much rate should charge 14% ya 14.25% plz guide...

01 April 2015 Please refer D.O.F. No. 334/5/2015-TRU Dated 28.02.2015 from link given below:

https://www.cbec.gov.in/ub1516/do-ltr-jstru2.pdf

In point No. 3.1 it is clearly mentioned that "The rate of Service Tax is being increased from 12% plus Education Cesses to 14%. The ‘Education Cess’ and ‘Secondary and Higher Education Cess’ shall be subsumed in the revised rate of Service Tax. Thus, the effective increase in Service Tax rate will be from the existing rate of 12.36% (inclusive of cesses) to 14%, subsuming the cesses. In Point No. 3.3 it is also mentioned that "The new Service Tax rate shall come into effect from a date to be notified by the Central Government after the enactment of the Finance Bill, 2015."

So till the new rates are notified Service Tax rate will be 12.36%. So as of now new rates are not applicable from 01.04.2015.
