I started the a marketing consultancy company in 1999 after leaving the job.
Since I was trying for a job I started in the name of my wife, not knowing the tax implications.
Through it I was earning approx. 2.5 to 3.0 lacs pa. from 1999 to 2004.
In 2004, I closed it.
Now I have received a summons witness from the department stating that the company has not paid any service tax in 2002-2003, 2003-2004, 2004-2005, 2005-2006 and 2006-2007.
I agree I have not paid service tax since I was not knowing about the taxation issue then. Also I have not collected any service tax.

Now,

a] What will be its implication?

b] Was it mandatory then and what was the limit and service tax structure?

c] What should I do to be least penalised in the matter?

Awaiting your guidance please since I have a date with the deprtment on 14th August 2007. My books are all audited and income tax paid.

Sincerely,

Niiev.

Hello! Members

Provided a facility for hiring to both public & private companies. Rent was collecting for that facility. For the same, Service Tax is applicable or not?
Whether applicable under which service it comes?

Give some more details, if anybody have similar experiance.

Please clarify the following:

1) Under Goods Transport by Road Service, Service Tax is payable on total transport amount or only 25% of the amount.

Whether stock broker is liable to collect service tax on transaction fees collected from client and paid to Exchange.
The exchange do not charge service tax on transaction fees charged to the brokers.

My client is a caterer and he is avinling 50% abaitment on supply of food and Catering Servie. but he is showing the sale of food sapretly and Catering service seprately in a single bill. and paying sales tax on sale of food amount. the food portion is about 80% and Service Prtion is only 20% but department is providing abatement only 50%.
now my qussion is as under:-

1. weather he shall charge service tax on only catering service when food is billied sapretly in single bill and trade tax is paid on it.

2. whether abatement is allowed 50%when both supply and service are single biled and saprate figures.
