Dear Expert,

In income tax return of FY-2014-2015 Rs.868258/- shown as sales of services now service tax department send us notice for short payment of services tax & short value shown in service tax return. Services of Screening of Films is not applicable for services tax. Jurisdiction of both firm is different. Now my question is two separate service tax registration required or in above case proprietor is liable to service tax because if turnover of both firm included then turnover is above 10 Lakh.

Thanks & Regards.

2. If service income exceeds Rs. 10lacs whether, service tax applicable on turnover or excess amount exceeding Rs.10lacs ? e.g - turnover (services) Rs.11lacs, applicability on Rs.11 lacs or 1 lac? this was our first year of services.

A Govt. company has awarded the work of legal consultancy to a Law firm. In the work allotment order it has been mentioned that fees is inclusive of all taxes and duties. Later the law firm submitted their bills for full amount of the contract value after completion of work. The applicable due service tax under RCM on invoice value was paid by the Govt. company to service tax and also makes the payment to the law firm after deduction of applicable TDS on invoice value.

Later, during audit the same has been found that the contract price is inclusive of all taxes. As such auditors has asked why the due taxes was not deducted from invoice.

Since the duty of payment of taxes is of the service recipient as such whether the organisation can claim the taxes paid as service tax from the service provider as because the same is mentioned in the contract allotment letter.

My client does not have any service tax number. He deals with fabrication work. He works as a sub-ordinate labour so does not buy any material nor he sales it, he only does labour work under the company. So is service tax applicable for him?
