Hello All,
Can you please help me with your expert advice on the following? :
My company is installing a pipeline and related other plants & machineries for transportation of chemicals. Pipes have been purchased for the purpose and stored. The installation process has just started and operationalisation of the plant including the pieline will take at least one year.
After operationalisation service tax will be applicable transportation charge for "Transportation of goods through Pipelines".
Please advise me -
(1)whether CENVAT Credit for ED paid on pipes and other plants, Srvice Tax paid to Project Consultants and other service providers for implementation of the project will be available for adjustment against Service Tax Chargeable on Transportation Charge?
(2)If so, what records and in what format do I need to maintain to satisfy the central excise/service tax authorities to avail CENVAT credit?
(3)When should I claim the CENVAT credit and what is the procedure for the same?
(4)How should I treat the ED and Ser. Tax paid during construction activities in my books of accounts for claiming and utilisation of CENVAT credit? Can you please suggest me appropriate entries in the books of accounts?
It will be a great help.

Thanks & regards,

Aditya

We had received work order (civil work) worth 60 lacs. Under T&C party will pay Service Tax. Against the goods at site the party had given us advance of Rs. 7,10,505.00 after deduction of 3% WCT and 2.266% TDS.

Now my question is:
Party is not paying Service Tax at the time of issuing us Advance. Party says this is advance and not payment against any bill. Service Tax wiil be paid un release of payment against any bill.

Do I have to pay Service Tax upon receipt of advance. If yes then at what rate?.

I wish to know if an imported 'readymade' application software either in 'digital/non-physical' form or 'boxed' form from USA/UK, when sold in India, does 'Service Tax' need to be charged to the buyers ?

As I understand, 'Tally' is also a readymade application software and buyers of Tally are charged only VAT @ 4% and not Service Tax.

Awaiting expert opinions.

Thanks.
