Service Tax Applicable or Not

yes.. it can be bcoz even in advertising contracts, VAT is payable as well as service tax though VAT is payable on a certain portion only.. however your bill or invoice should determine what is service charges and what is Sales to charge VAT

my ( c.a.)receipt in 2007-2008 is 8.26 lakh.hence i am under the service tax. but i presume my receipt will not cover 10.00 lakh in 2008-2009. my i take exemption in service tax 

Is scanning of documents come under the purview of service tax? Please reply

We run a small outfit dealing in mailing of bulk mail for clients.

The postage for franking is purchased from post office and the meters of the franking machines are set for the amount.  As and when franking is done, the meter reading gets reduced.  At the end of the mailing, bill is sent to the client towards the adjustment of amount paid for postage with the "despatch slips" with the seal of the post office as evidence.  Separate bill is sent for "service charges" for stuffing/franking on which service tax is collected.

Now the Service tax authorities demand that ST should be levied on the postage franked and billed to the clients.  Is it correct?  The postage is "goods" and treated as liquid asset in the books of accounts.  Further the Post office is exempted from the Service Tax so far as basic mail is considered.  Only speed post/money orders attract ST.  The post office also franks customers' letters and no Service Tax is charged.  Can anybody guide?
