Service Tax on Car Hire Charges

This query is : Resolved 

26 May 2008 Hi all,

A party has raised a bill towards car hire charges. He has charged Service Tax at the prescribed rate on 40% of the gross value of service provided. While other parties, providing same service are charging service tax on 100% of the gross value of service provided. I wanted to know what is the rule? Is the party charging service tax on 40% of the gross value of service provided is enjoying any abatement or he is not charging service tax on cost of fuel consumed? Please clarify.

26 May 2008 if a person is charging on 40% value then service provider is not entitled to cenvat credit.

27 May 2008 Hi Partha,

Abatement to the extent of 60% is admissible for the rent-a-cab operator providing such services, if the service provider does not avail the benefits under Cenvat Credit Scheme or the benefits under Notification No. 12/2003-S.T., dated 20-6-2003. (Notfn. No. 1/2006-S.T., dated 1-3-2006).
