Dear Experts,

I need your expert advice on the service tax liability for rental income from jointly held commercial property.

My mother and uncle are joint holders of a commercial property with Rs. 14.4L p.a. as rent EACH.
The property tax paid is Rs. 1L each p.a.

The tenant is running a sports lounge (bowling, snooker with dining facility).

Please advise on the service tax liability and also the procedure to pay the Service tax.
This is the first time anyone in our family is paying Service Tax on rent and have no clue what all needs to be done for paying it.

Dear Experts

I have a query:

Our suppliers are charging freight from us for the material being supplied by them.
There is a single invoice for price of materials on which they charge VAT/CST and then they add freight amount to it.

This is an ad-hoc amount as agreed by us and it can be more or less than the actual amount spent by our supplier in sending us the material. No lorry receipt/RR etc is attached by the supplier to his invoice.

Please guide me as to who is liable to pay service tax.

Dear Expert

Background:

Our company makes student kits which enable activity based learning, the kits help students to understand concepts in science. We also train the teachers to explain the concepts using our activity kits and we also monitor the kids and the teachers performance and report the same to the principal. We charge for the kits as well as for the service(Training and monitoring).

My Queries:

1) are services chargable to service tax, if yes under what taxable service

2) is the kit subject to sales tax (APVAT/CST)
3) are there any benefits (like grants, subsidies,tax waivers etc.) for an educational company like ours.

Thank You,
Regards.....Susheel.

as per the recent orders dt 20-06-2012, 14 services were exempted from Service Tax and including "SERVICES RELATING TO WORKS CONTRACT TO A SCHEME UNDER JNNURM OR RAJEEV AWAS YOJANA" is also exempted

Now, I need to get answer to :
A consultant providing his managerial services solely for establishment of a JNNURM Project, and receiving Consultancy Charges for such work, will, after such exemption, he would be exempted from Service Tax

If No, then why

I have a client who has the business of providing services in the form of getting clients for his parent company which is in Europe which is into the business of weilding so my client provides customers which are situated in India as well as outside India and for this he gets a fixed commission from the parent company,so is he liable to charge ST on the commission amount received in case of Indian customers as the parent company is going to do the weilding work in India or does it have some connection with Export of Service Rules and is Exempt from chargeability of ST...slarification is required and any reference provided to case laws or provisions or notices n circulars would be appreciated...??

I want to know that as per latest amendment service tax is chargeable @ 4.95% on International ticket in Budget 2012, i want to know on which amount service tax is to be calculated?
1. On Basic Fare or
2. On total ticket Amount including Govt Taxes like: FTT, IATT etc. and other charges?

"Gross Amount charged for Ticket" stands for what?

This is regarding property service tax ,

Booking Date :- 28-Mar-11 Booking amount of 100000/- is debited from my account on 30-Mar-11
Builder Completion Certificate Date :- 31-Mar-11
Sale Agreement Date :- 11-Apr-11
Payment made after completion certificate :- Appro. 31 Lakhs.

Please confirm in above scenario do I need to pay service tax on whole agreement cost or service tax would be on payment made before getting completion certificate(i.e Rs.100000/-).


Please clarify the above doubt.

Thanks in advance !!

Hi,

How is the service tax calculated in case of under construction property.
Builder takes the payment under three different heads -
1) Base Sale Price (BSP)
2) Preferred Location Charges (PLC)
3) Lease Rent (LR)
Is service tax applicable on all the three, if yes then is it charged in the same fashion?
Thanks in Advance for the reply
