Could anyone tell me about what is Exemption limit for service tax And for CA

Hi

One of my client is in the business of Supply of manpower for construction of building. His receipts for F.Y.2006-07 was Rs.25 Lacs. Even during this year F.Y.2007-08 his receipts already exceeded Rs.8 Lacs. Now he want to apply for ST regn.
Can anybody guide me on this issue.
From which date he should apply for ST regn? What will be the interest & penalty?
What should he do if some of his clients will not pay ST portion?
Is there any wayout?

Thanks

We asre provided manpower dor catering and various other functions by Caterer.
The amount paid to him includes Salary to the workman, statutory obligations like P.F., E.S.I., Bonus etc Admins charges @ 10 % of the total amount.
Service tax is charged on the total amount paid to the caterer.
The Act says that Service Tax should be on the Gross Amount subject to exclusion of reimbursements.
Is it right to charge Service Tax on the entire amount or should it be after excluding salary and related costs?

Whether service tax paid on bills will be allowed as expenditure. For example Telephone bill say Rs.1000/-
Service tax on the same Rs.124/- totalling Rs.1124/-Whether Rs.1124 to be debited to telephone a/c or only Rs.1000/-

i would like to know whether a proprietory concern is liable to pay service tax on freight payments made to a transportor
if yes whether whether the basic limit is available

One entity has paid to goods transporter (who is independent truck owner) Rs. 9000 as transportation charges. This transporter has not issued any consignment note etc. but accepted the payment by only signing the voucher of said entity. Now, the entity is the factory under factories Act, then will the factory be liable to pay service tax on this Transportation charges? One thing should be remembered here that transporter has not issued any consignment note. If the entity is not liable to service tax then who will be liable to pay and why?

Sir,

Can a Transporter being GTA collect service tax from the consignor(who pays freight) in a proper channel and issue a letter of declaration to the consignor that he is collecting the service tax along with the freight and pay it to the government on its behalf.

Further in scrutiny of consignor can a declaration form a relevant evidence/ proof of service tax payment on the freight paid during an assessment year.

Is the above procedure specified in the law please provide me with the details.
