This query is : Resolved
27 November 2007
I wanted to know the date on which service tax is appicable in case of rent, and the company has registered to service tax on 14.02.07 but they have not remitted any service tax till july but from july the remmittances are done, whether there is any penalty towards this and the date remittance to be started from 14.02.07 or there is any time lag for the payment? and if there is any excess amount paid whether can we claim refund for the same?

You have not stated the period of service provided by you.
The service on Rent on commercial property has been introduced from 01/06/2007
There is an abatement of property tax on proportionate basis that you can claim.
If in the previous financial year your company has not exceeded the threshold limit of 8 lacs from taxable services than it can claim the SSI benefit, if not then the previous dues have to be paid with interest
