Queries 832 views 5 replies

whether service tax is applicable on cargo handling services for export cargo? and if not then what arethe documents to be obtained from the CHA by the CFS so as to prove the transaction as export?

in case the CFS has not obtained any documents from the CHA will he be a DEFAULTER in future for not collecting and paying service tax?

The activity is liable to service tax. The freight forwarder is not exporting the service, and hence he has to pay the service tax.

Off course the exporter can claim refund of this tax paid as service tax paid on input service for export.

Service Tax input credit is directly dect from the Total Service Tax collections in any head. what is the treatment of preparing challan for service tax remittance, pls clarify on it.

I advises one small organisation on tax and investment matters. Recently w have made payment to lawyers for the handling of social action petitions in high court of Gujarat. We have made payment of 25000, 35000 and 10000 between April to December 2008. We stall have to pay last insallmnet of his fees.      Shall we ask him for service tax deduction and if Yes at what rate?

Advocacy services does not attract sevice tax, so there is no question of any service tax.

Off course, as the payment is more than 20K, you should deduct at the applicable rate and give him TDS certificate.
