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
