Hii All

We have taken a godown on rent since 2012. The Landlord never charged the Service Tax on us since then, but now he got a Notice from service tax department questioning the same, that why he is not charging the ST.

All of sudden he is asking us to pay the ST, on retrospectively i.e. 2012.

My query is whether we are liable to pay the same, as per my understanding we are not.

but i not getting any written support on this.

Pls suggest any section or case law on this

We have paid service tax on advance room charges received and during the month in which these room charges are billed we paid full service tax on room charges my mistake instead of deducting the advance already paid. My query is can we use this advance service tax paid under room charges category to make payment of service tax under restaurant or taxi service category.

SIr pls reply its urgent
