Whether service tax paid on business consulting service can be adjusted against service tax payable on commission service?

Dear all,
A company receiving GTA service via road and accordingly liable to pay ST under RCM.
Before 01/07/2012 Transportin Agencies were charging ST, therefore the company was not paying Service Tax. But w.e.f. 01/07/2012, Transport Agencies stopped charging ST on their bill and the company also not paying service tax on that.
Now company realizes his mistake wants to get registered with service tax.

Now My query is that whether the company need to pay service tax from 01/07/2012 or from present date?

Further if company needs to pay service tax for previous periods too, then whether it would also required to file returns for that period??

Please let me know about the above subject.

Thanks

Client who is state Govt road transport corporation specially engaged in passenger transport i.e public transport company. Corporation has given permission to the various book stalls, fruit stalls, canteen inside the premises of bus stand area and collected "license fee" as rent of such stalls (small shops) service tax is collected under Renting of Immovable property service.

However the corporation is also issuing licences to hawkers (i.e. individual feriwalas) granting permission to sale their goods at bus stand area for a minimum licence fee. Now service tax dept has issued notice to tax such licence fee under ambit of Renting of Immovable Property.
As the corporation is allowing permission only to sale the hawkers good.
No specific place/area is allowed to hawkers.
Objective of issuing such licence is only to facilitate proper administration over hawkers and for effective control over them.
Corporation has prescribed specific dress code to hawkers and given batches to them.
Hawkers are using open land of bus stand and entry to such area is open to common public at large.

Issue is whether Licence fee of hawkers will come under ambit of service tax under Renting of immovable property.

Kind request to all please share your views regarding this issue.

Thanks.

Dear All

I have a client who is a Civil Contractor. He is providing his services mainly to the local authority here. In the meanwhile, he was also allotted contract from CSIO and IMTECH, units of CSIR, an autonomous body formed by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Central Government.

In light of ST Notification No. 25/2012 dated June 20, 2012, services provided for Non commercial civil structure for Government and Local Authorities are exempt from service tax.

My query is, will the service provided by my client to CSIO and IMTECH fall under the above notification and be exempt from ST or not

Your views in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Dear all,
My company is purchasing goods from a supplier & he is charging freight in the bill.
Case 1. Transporter is submitting the LR with the bill. Are we liable to pay GTA?
Case 2.Transporter is not submitting the LR with the bill. Are we liable to pay GTA based on the amount stated in the bill?

when we make provision on March ending then the service tax input included in that how it is to be treated ????

can we take the credit in the same financial year or after payment ???

On buying and selling shares amounts to trading of goods which is covered in the negative list so why is ST levied on them as i can see st levied in the contract note which i received on buying and selling a share???
