firm has made an agreement naming "CONDUCTING AGREEMNT"

firm 1 has sold property to firm 2 for business purpose only,
in which firm 2 is paying to firm 1 fixed monthly amount [say more than 8.5 lac per month]
the condition is that either pay this fixed amount or fixed percentage of sale [say 5% of sale]
that means either fixed amount of rs. 8.5 lac or 5% of sales whichever is higher.
that fixed amount is called conducting fees.
My question is whether service tax is liable? payable?
if yes then under which category?

Hi all,

A party has raised a bill towards car hire charges. He has charged Service Tax at the prescribed rate on 40% of the gross value of service provided. While other parties, providing same service are charging service tax on 100% of the gross value of service provided. I wanted to know what is the rule? Is the party charging service tax on 40% of the gross value of service provided is enjoying any abatement or he is not charging service tax on cost of fuel consumed? Please clarify.

Can VAT and service tax be applied simultaneously on same services ?
