Dear all

We are having following queries on Service Tax

We have started a firm and we are providing only "Transport service".

 
Are we needed to register under service tax, charge Service tax and pay the same to Government.?
 

For the first year how we can justify the treshold limit of Rs.10lacs.?

With regards

After the ssi exemption you will pay the service tax.

what is SSI Exemption?

upto the 10 lacks no need to pay service tax.

Is there any notification that the service provider on "Transport services" has to pay service tax. if the provider is a firm

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notification No. 35/2004-Service Tax, dated 3rd December, 2004 prescribes that the person making payment towards freight would be liable to pay the service tax, in case the consignor or the consignee of the goods transported in one of the following,- 
(i) Factory registered under or governed by the Factories Act; 
(ii) Company established by or under the Companies Act; 
(iii) Corporation established by or under any law; 
(iv) Society registered under Societies Registration Act or similar law; (v) Co-operative society established by or under any law; 
(vi) Dealer of excisable goods, registered under the Central Excise Law; or 
(vii) Any body corporate established, or a partnership firm registered, by or under any law

so the person who is paying for the service has to pay service tax . The service provider need not pay service tax. service receiver has to pay. Correct???

Person who pays transport charges... . 

As per the Notification No. 30/2012-Service Tax Dated : 20th June, 2012,

I. The taxable services,—

(A)  (i)   provided or agreed to be provided  by an insurance agent to any person carrying on the insurance business;

      (ii)   provided or agreed to be provided  by a goods transport agency in respect of  transportation  of goods by road, where the  person liable to pay freight    is,—

            (a)  any factory registered under or governed by the Factories Act, 1948 (63 of 1948);

            (b)  any society registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 (21 of 1860) or under any other law for the time being in force in any part of India;

            (c)  any co-operative society established by or under any law;

            (d)  any dealer of excisable goods, who is registered under the Central Excise Act, 1944 (1 of 1944) or the rules made thereunder;

            (e)  any body corporate established, by or under any law; or

            (f)  any partnership firm whether registered or not under any law including association of persons:

 

Further, Notification 33/2012 dt. 20-06-2012 provides the Exemption for Thresold limit of Rs. 10 Lac.

If you provide transport service to any registered companies/private concerns & if they are paying service tax on inward freight, you no need to pay service tax
