Hello Everyone,

I paid service tax of Q2 in Oct 2015 and for Q3 in Jan 2016. Later on I came to know that the service is exempted. There is no other service during the year. Hence no liability of service tax.

So I want to know where I should show it in my service tax returns. As advance in Q3 - Q4 return. or no action in current year. Show it in advance when the liability arises.

I am currently providing electrical contractor and maintenance services to PWD, MP however department is not paying me any service tax. They are saying that the services provided to the state govt is exempted under finance act whereas as per my CA service tax has to paid on the amount received in bank.
Please suggest me whether am I liable to pay service tax or the services provided to state govt is exempt. Even If I am liable to pay service tax on the receipts then how can I get this service tax from the PWD as the service tax is Indirect Tax.

1. I have received a bill from one of the vendors Dt: 15 Mar -16, with 14.5% ST (Advertising Agency Service), i have not paid him any amount in last quarter, so while paying him now in Apr-16 or May-16, can i use ST amount for Cenvat Credit in current FY 16-17 H1 return.

2. I have received a bill from one of the vendors Dt: 09 Jan-16, with 14.5% ST (Advertising Agency Service), i paid him complete amount in Mar-16 itself but forget to use Cenvat Credit so can i use ST amount for Cenvat Credit in current FY 16-17 H1 return, if yes what entry i have to do in accounts.(Balance sheet).

I have not done any provision in FY 15-16 H2 return for both the above cases.

Hi,
Pls advice me how to fill ST-3 to claim Mega Exemption of 10 Lac. While filling ST-3, it is automatically calculating tax and no option to nullify the tax liability.

Is the taxable turnover to be disclosed NIL upto 10Lac or is there any other way.

Transport of passengers, with or without accompanied belongings, by a Stage carriage falls under the negative list entry (o). Therefore there is no levy of service tax in this case. However, Mega exemption notification serial number 23 exempts - Transport of passengers, with or without accompanied belongings, by (bb) stage carriage other than air-conditioned stage carriage Why is it also mentioned in the exemption notification when there is no levy in the first place? Also why no exemption is provided to air conditioned stage carriage? Please resolve my queries. Thanks.
