MY BROTHER BOOKED A FLAT TWO YEAR AGO IN UNDER CONSTRUCTION BLDG. CONSTRUCTION WORK WAS NOT STARTED THAT TIME. IT HAS 6 FLATS AND 2 SHOPS. CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED NOW. BUILDERS IS NOW ASKING FOR 5% VAT AND 4.5% SERVICE TAX ON AGREEMENT VALUE. CANT WE TAKE POSSESSION WITHOUT PAYING THIS AMOUNT AS WE WERE NOT AWARE ABOUT THIS AT THE TIME OF BOOKING FLAT AND MAKING AGRREEMENT. PLS TELL ME IS HE RIGHT

Pl give me a complete list of taxable services.

We have paid service tax in excess for particular month. whether the same can be adjusted in next month or we have to file refund claim.
Please answer in both the scenario one we have filed the half yearly return and second we have not filed half yearly return

We undertake jobs on EPC basis classified as taxable service classified under 65 (105) (zzzza) explanation (e).

All our jobs are for State Govt. departments or for local authorities for Irrigation or for Water supply schemes / sewage disposal schemes.

Prior to this classification, we used to discharge service tax for the taxable services like Erection, Commissioning & Installation, Consulting Engineer Services etc, for the labour component involved in the contract. Considering the fact that these buildings are not used for commerce or industry, the civil services were treated by us as exempted service.

Now, under the revised classification of WCT services, the valuation of gross taxable service would be Total value of the contract less transfer of property in goods + relevant VAT.

The query is explained mathematically as under:

Total contract value 100.00
Less: Transfer of property
In material + relevant VAT 90.00

Gross value of service 10.00

The Rs.90.00 deducted above includes Rs.20.00 as the Civil portion of the contract, the break-up of Rs.20.00 is material + relevant VAT + labour + margin. My query is whether this Rs.20.00 will be exigible to tax under the service tax scheme because of the classification, i.e. Works Contract Services, even though the proposed civil structure is not going to be used for commerce or industry.

Thanks.

Is Hostel fees collected by a Commecrial Coaching Centre liable for Service tax...Invoice is raised in the name of the student for tuition fees and hostel fee separately...u can easily bifurcate the tuition fees and hostel fees separately...

Joint Commissioner of Central Excise , customs and Service tax has issued a show cause notice for payment of service tax on Hostel fees collected also...it is tenable or not...

We are in Tour operator services accordingly provide the CAB, Hotel, Ticketing to customers. Question is whether for CAB, Ticketing services we need separate registration and accordingly billing would be done separately for each services or not,
As the rates of Services tax are different for each category of services.

2. SINCE WE TAKE INPUT SERVICE TAX CREDIT WHAT IS THE RATE OF SERVICE TAX WE NEED TO DEPOSIT IN RESPECT OF FREIGHT PAYMENT TO TRANSPORT AGENCIES? IS IT 12 % OR 3%?

Service tax is 12.36% but pls tell me which section it has been written in Service Tax
