Valuation of taxable service

If rendering a service is contingent upon the happening of any event and the service charges are payable even if the event does not happen, will it be covered by - "service provided or to be provided" as per section 67 of the FA'94?

In this context, whether service tax is applicable on advances received before rendering the service?

Dear Sir,

as all of us know that rental services are came under the provisions of service tax.

My query is that what happened if any assessee already raised the bill of rent to their client and registration of service tax comes after that billing.

can the assessee he liable for service tax on those bills that he had already raised. if yes then can he take cenvat of the bills raised on him during that period.

the second problem is that the assessee is under the obligation of paying some expenses to the service tax provider and he is entered an agreement for rembuirshment of the same from second party but he required to raise a bill for the same. in this case the second party had the obligation to pay only the amount of the bill of services or expenses as raised by the service provider. so what is the formalities on the part of the assessee in this matter as he is only the mediator and had not made any addittion. so can he is also required to raise the bill and mentioned the service tax seperate on the value including service tax or only on the value of the expenses.

so please let me know the possible way out of the same.

Thanks & Regards
