Thus, only Sr. Nos.(ii) to (vi) have been included as new topics in the syllabus under point no.1 (Concepts and General principles) and point no.2 (Charge of service tax and Taxable services).

In furtherance to the above-mentioned decision, it is clarified that other topics viz., valuation of taxable service, payment of service tax and filing of returns, topics related to VAT etc. as covered in the Study Material will continue to apply as they used to apply before.
In view of the far-reaching changes effected with the introduction of negative list approach of taxation in
service tax, Study Material and Practice Manual of Part-II: Service tax & VAT of Paper 4: Taxation (contained in Volume III) [November 2012 edition] have been completely revamped. Students may note that the revised Study Material and Practice Manual have been prepared in accordance with the above-mentioned decision of the Examination Committee.

In other words, all the chapters of the revised Study Material and Practice Manual would be applicable for examination purposes.

Hence, students with the older editions of the Study Material and Practice Manual are advised to read the
new edition [November 2012 edition].
