Dear Sir,

Our Company is in Manufacturing of Dies and Punches and as well as do Trading of Machinery and we get commission for the same in Forex and also we get service income on AMC of Machinery in india Our Books of Accounts are maintained Division wise I.E. Manufacturing Div and Trading Div My query is

1) Commission which we receive is totally 100% in forex and we dont levy service tax on commission income but we levy service tax on AMC for the Machinery and total earnings which we receive is in indian rupees so can we get input service credit against the output service tax also if the input service tax is more than the output service tax can we take input service distribution credit and raise bill on our manufacturing division

2) How much percentage of Input credit can we avail against out put service if we provide both export and non export service

Facts ::
If an Assessee owing to misinterpretation of an Exemption Notification under Fin. Act, 1994, billed in Sept. 2007 only to the extent of Rs. 100000/- without Service Tax component.
Total collection in Sept.07 out of the aforesaid bill is to the tune of Rs. 50000/-
The ST-3 in relation to the Taxable Services have already been filed for HYE Sept. 2007 showing Exempted services billed Rs. 100000/-.

Thereafter, while verifying the Half Year ended March 2008, an Auditor becomes aware about the Non-eiligibility of Exmpn. Notn. & thus the, Non-levy as well as Non-payt. of ST for HYE Sept. 2007.

Query :
what should be the Date of Invoice for billing the Customer for the ST component of Rs. 12360/-
Whether ST-3 for HYE Sept. 2007 can be revised ?
What will be the consequences of the Non-levy as well as Non-payt. of ST for HYE Sept. 2007.
What would be the manner of Disclosure in ST-3 for Both HYE.

Thanks & Regards,

as per relevant notification a job worker is not required to charge service tax/ excise on job work charges if the final product is excisable. but if a job worker clears material to a unit which is exempt from excise then what should be the treatment for service tax/ excise

Parent Company issuing rawmaterials, stores and incure other expenses for manufacturing final product by its subsidiary, and the final product is not excisable, final product
come back to parent company and parent company paying processing charges to subsidiary, my question is whether its a business auxiliary service and whether service tax is applicable..... expecting reply soon....... thank u.

A very funny situation has arisen. One of my clients, a mailing agency, has been asked to remit service tax on the postage franked for his clients by franking machines licensed by Post Office. The franking of postage is in lieu of physical stamp being affixed. The Indian post office Act says that it is a "duty" levied for transmission. In the account books of all business concerns, the postage is "liquid assets". The post office 'sells' postage, which means it is goods.
Further the TRU cell of Service Tax has notified that the basic mail services (which includes franking) of post office are exempted from ST. The post office also undertakes franking like mailing agency and charges different rates without any Service Tax.
I feel that the demand of Service Tax authorities that ST must be paid on the postage franked by my client is not valid.
What do the experts say? I am anxious.
