Sir,

Query No.1 : One of our client has paid sometimes excess service tax and sometimes short service tax and the same is reconciled at the time of filing the half yearly ST3 return. Now the Service tax audit is conducted and again the figures are not reconciling because bank reconciliation is done after the completion of one year. We are requesting the department to adjust the excess & shortage service tax appearing after the bank reconciliation but they are not agreeing to it. They are of the opinion that you pay the shortage and claim refund of the excess. The period for claiming of refund is one year and my major claim gets lapsed. Pls suggest if there are any case laws in our favour so that on basis of natural justice we can get the adjustment done.

Query No.2: Whether weighbridge charges are taxable under any category of service tax?

Dear sir/s,

We are dealing in aluminium fabrication work and getting work contract from our clients for the project like commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, hotels etc.. In India we got the information that some fabricators are doing this activity under service tax and some are under excise.

As specially we are getting the contract for Aluminium Doors, Windows, Partitions, Glazing, Cladding etc. and working as per the client's requirement and specifications. We make the particulars some times at party's site and some times under our premises.

For this kind of projects 1st we get the work order from the party and than as per their requirement and specs. we procure the material and than do cut the aluminium sections. Than after we assamble the material. To assamble we required the materials like Aluminium Sections, Glass and hardware materials. And for all these we give the job work to labour contractor.

Now our question is that is this activity under service tax or excise?

Thanking you and waiting for your reply and very oblidge for the same.
