2311 views 16 replies

I have a query regarding service tax which is as under -

We are a service provider providing service as "Works Contract Service" as we are engaged in the construction of single residential units. But, we registered ourself under "Construction of Residential Complex" prior to 1.6.2007 though at that time we were not liable to pay any service tax. After 1.6.2007 we charge service tax as provided in the Works contract services without amending our registration certificate now we want to amend our service tax registration no. Can we do so. Moreover what will happen to all the services provided by us from 1.6.2007 to till date.

We further inform you that we had filed service tax returns in which we had mentioned that we are providing works contract services and paid the tax accordingly

hi,

Well u seem to be in great mess.

If you/ your organisation is poviding services in nature of " Construction of Residential Complex", then you could have easily get registred for (A) both the services simultaneously OR (B) only for the said service (depending if you are still providing services in nature of " Execution of Work Contract".

The biggest blunder done by you/ your orgn. is that you filled in wrong service category (as you mentioned) in the your service-tax return. For as per Dept data/ info you are proviing services in nature of Works Contract

Further, you can not revise that return as its time-barred (60 days from date of filing return)

Now, I'll advise you to consult a Service-tax Consultant with all details. You need to amend your registeration details vide Form ST-1. Then departmnt will issue a fresh certificate of regn (in Form ST-2) in place of original ST-2 issued to you/ your orgn in first place.

Further, I'll advise you to take professional help before taking such steps. See, amendment in regn with ST Dept is not very complex or straining process. But the consequences of not doing so & taking steps as taken by you/ your orgn create a bigger mess.

You can only hope Department doesn't ind out your error/ mistake.

But 3 employees obscond on 9th month of that year itself. hence company unable to claim tax laiability from the employee.Shall company can escape from paying tax on behalf of employee and explain to the tax dept as you collect tax rom that obsconded employee itself.

Hello,

A client is based in Mumbai and imports Readymade Software from USA. They are charged CVD & Octroi. They sell these readymade software in India and charge VAT @ 4% (for local as well as outside Mumbai) to clients. To some buyers, they offer installation of the software FREE.

I wish to know:

- Is Octroi chargeable on import of readymade software ?

- Are they liable to charge Service Tax from the customers here, although the software is readymade ? Also, if installationn is considered as service, even though it is offered FREE ? Are they still liable to charge Service Tax and if so, then at what rate ? If they charge Service Tax, then are their customers also liable to cut TDS from their payment ? And again, are they (importers) too liable to cut TDS from the supplier's payment made against import purchases ?

Waiting for expert opinions.

Best regards,

Prakash
