Re. Courier / Angadia business thru Banking channels Vis a Vis applicability of
attracting Banking & Financial Service, clause 65(105) (zm) of Service
Tax Act.
One of our clients wants to start courier business having the nature of sending/ receiving cash as per customer requirement having capital of Rs. 10/20/30 lac or as required. Is there any cap on capital employed as per Income Tax????
He will operate from 4/5 places, at the end of the day the cash balance of any branch will be deposited in Bank. The said cash will be withdrawn by another Branch from the bank where the cash is required to be delivered as per customers’ order.
In this process, he will earn average commission for delivery / receipt of cash @ 0.1 % average.
Now following the above modus operands, our questions are as follows for your kind advise, confirmation.
- The above activity will attract Service Tax registration in the category of courier service i.e. 65(105) (f) - Courier. ??. or which category if not courier other then Banking & Financial Service.
The Registration of all branches can
be applied for at one place, i.e. place
of H.O. (Centralised Registration) for
taking one common Service Tax no.?
- As we understand the basic exemption limit is Rs. 8 lac, pl. confirm? Service Tax will have to be paid @ 10.3 % on quarterly basis being Proprietorship Concern once the commission income exceeds Rs. 8 lac in any financial year or from initial stage itself .???
- Is there any need for submitting Service Tax Returns on quarterly basis to the office of Excise & Service Tax, where the branch is located???
- The foremost question is, in a day how much maximum cash can be deposited in a Bank to avoid attracting Banking & Financial Service, clause 65(105) (zm) of Service Tax Act. What is the safer limit for the quantum of doing business thru banking channels for not attracting above?
- Proper records will be maintained for the cash receipt/ payment at any place having name, address. Is there any cap on making pucca/ accountable receipt/ payment under Income Tax Act / safer limit of quantum of each receipt for showing in the books so that the Income Tax enquiry is not faced in the case of cash receiver / depositor?
- Tax Audit under I.T. Act U/s 44AB will be applicable only if the commission receipt exceeds Rs. 40 lac in a financial year. ?????
