We are a service provider company(energy sector) and availing service tax credit. We are providing service for a goverment organisation and we are using our company van and raising seprate bill for the van. My question is that we should charge service tax @4.95% or 12.36% for the van.

Our tenent, State Bank of Indore,is refusing to PAY the service tax on monthly rent.The tax was imposed by the government on 01.06.2007.The bank actually paid the service tax for three months i.e. Sept07 to Nov'07 alongwith the rent for each month after deducting T.D.S. on total amount.
Now they say that it was paid by mistake.Then they have taken back the service tax amount for three months from the rent of Dec.2007. Is it legal to do that? Can they withdraw money from our current account without our permission ??
Our lease was signed prior to imposition of Service tax.
What is the recourse that we have. How can we get this amount of 12.36% of rent from them ? Can we get the buiding vacated if they do not pay the service tax ??
Thanks,

Thaks in advance/

My Tenent ( a public limited Bank ) is refusing to PAY the service tax on rent of 210000 per month The tax was imposed by the government on 01.06.2007. Our lease was signed much before that i.e. on 21.04.06 . As the service tax did not exist at that time , there is no mention of the same in the lease deed.

What is the recourse that we have as landlords? Our rent amount never included any form of taxes except municipal taxes and property tax. How can we get this amount of 12.36% of rent from them ? Can we get the buiding vacated if they do not pay ??

My client is rendering professional services and his gross receipts are in excess of Rs.10 lakhs i.e. above the exemption limit.

He has a service No. AA..... ST001 in the name of his proprietorship firm

He receives rent for commercial property. Since as an assessee he has already crossed the exemption threshold, he would be liable for ST on the rental income received in his personal name.

Querry
Should he apply for a separate ST No. by giving a different address. In this manner his number will become AA..... ST002

Can he use his existing ST Code for the rental income. Pls remember that the registration is in the name of his proprietorship firm while the rental income would be received in his personal name.

what are the provisionin above mention scheme.if the value of material suplied in a work contract can not be seprated then what will be thevalue for calculating the service tax. the rate of service tax in work contract pertaining to construction electrical sub station.

Liability of payment of service tax is due on accrual or on receipt basis.how the payment will be made bythe person who is availing service
