we were engaged in the business of construction of individual residential units with use of material and labour during FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17, whether service tax was applicable to us ??

Respected Sir,
If any job work is done for export oriented units or any job is done for agricultural industries those industries which are 100% export oriented units, whether such job work is fully exempted from service tax

When a foreign entity sends plant and equipment to india and leases that plant and equipment to its Indian subsidiary, what rate of withholding tax is deducted when filing in 15CA/CB forms.
I noted on your site that one of the professionals Uma Shanker Sharda answered a similar question and he stated 10% under section 194 I. However that section says 10% is for a combined rent of buildings with plant and equipment We have noticed in the construction sector that when renting plant and equipment (like a forklift or crane) locally that the TDS rate is 2%.
Are these the percentages that apply when the foreign company has a PAN number in India or are they 5% as per section 194B. Or does section 195 apply? In which case it would be 10% for "fees" as it is not combined with building rental which has rate of 30%. I want to double check as this is very confusing
Thanks Peter Dance UIPL
