Hello Dear Friends,
I am CA Ajit Gajera, I have one client doing business of Freight Forwarders. Now we have department audit for last 5 years. Last 4 years have no problem at all because Freight was exempt.
From 01/06/2016 Ocean Freight was taxable and it was clearly stated that Abatement of 70% was allowed on freight services.
My client was taking 70% abatement and paying tax accordingly. Now officer is a view that as per Circular no 206/4/2017 - Service tax dated 13/04/2017, Your firm is not eligible for 70% Abatement and now you have to pay balance tax on 70% value of Freight.
Can anybody has a view that this abatement is available or not.

Please reply urgently

Sir, Registered NGO receiving grant under CSR to construct class room and toilets at Government School. This NGO is registered under Income Tax section 12A and GST. My query is- 1. Is this NGo is liable for service tax on grant? (which amount on total grant or excluding construction cost.) 2. NGO should claim input tax (revers charge) on material purchased for that activities? 3. If no any tax liability than which section is applied for exemption?
