I am doing audit of pvt limited company who is engaged in the business of travel agency.My query is "company incurred Visa fees and paid to the respective consulate but company is receiving much higher amount from its client and paid service tax on the receiving amount.
For example actual visa fees is 2800 but it is receiving 3500 from its clients.Company remit 2800 to the consulate and retained 700(3500-2800).So service on which amount 3500 or 2800? my first question
Is it not a case of pure agent??
If not then Service tax should be on 3500 ,according to my view.
But i am confused by seeing the company's accounting.
Here is the company accouning:
Xyz (client)A/c DR 3500
Visa processing Dr 2800
To Consulate 2800 CR 2800
Visa processing fees CR 3409
Service tax on visa processing Cr 91
But according to me this is quite wrong.Help me to find out right accounting.ASAP
