My Client is an authorised dealer for a renowned brand of two wheelers.Recently a survey was conducted at his premises and he was queried as to why has he not got himself registered with the service tax authorities. The reply was that we were still under the basic exemption limit.The department took the view that since the services being provided are under a brand name the services should be taxable from the very first receipt.

My view from the study i have done on this subject so far is that, services provided under brand name are those where the service provider is directly the company whose dealer is managing it. However in this case my client is providing service on his own behalf, i.e. under his name and not in the name of the company.Please Advice.

Out of the Service bills, except one bill, It's omited to calculate Higher Education CESS @ Rate of one percentage. It has been noticed at the time of assesment (Halfyearly).
QUESTION:
01. Can we pay the difference amount now?
02. If yes do we need to calculate Interest/Penality @15% per anum (Or part)?
We registered under mandap keepers.
Thanks & Regards

Hello! Friends,

Recently Excise & Service Tax Auditors
Audited Records & Files of a company, who was a registered as dealer five years ago and their turnover is above 5 crores.
Excise Dept. was intimated writtenly before the Audit in the name of EA-2000. They've inspected on the same days what they written on Audit intimation.

They have inspected each and everthing and finally record some notes relating to Service Tax and Excise part was perfect.
After 10 days, they've called the Accounts in-charge of the company and issue a notice, which contains liability of service tax of Rs. 6.3 lakhs regarding transportation & freight. Here they charged 100% ST on transport & freight and some part was already paid by the customer (end user) of the company.

Then the company said we're ready to pay the liable tax, but the transport & freight is exclusive, which applies GTA abetment of 75% on the total amount, hence 25% was paid. Here the customer of the company, who is a manufactuerer, paid 100% service tax relating to tranport, but we've exclusive transport contract with the customer. Finally, we've paid 25% of the Notice issued by Audit Inspector. And paid challanas are also submitted. This was done 3 months back.
Till now the comapny was not received any Excise Audit Report regarding EA 2000.
And recently, when the company submitting Service Tax Return they've intimated all the particulers & payments in the return.

Now, what will the company do against this?

dear sir,

i want to know about the procedure for service tax registration.
