We have filed our Service Tax Returns for Apr-Sep 2015 on 18/01/2016 and Oct-Mar 2015 on 24/05/2016. Both the returns were late but no late filing fee has been paid by us.

The payment of Service Tax in both the period was always late but no payment of Interest has been made.

Expert advise is required :-

a) Can we make payment of Interest now
b) Can we make payment of Penalty for late filing now.

As far as we are aware, we can revise return only within 90 days of the filing of return which is already exceeded.

Please advise what do we do now.

Thanks & Regards,

dear experts

i would like to know cenvat credit rules related to work contract service . one of company paid 50 % service tax on work contract service since the company was service receiver from a individual contractor. can company claim input tax credit against their service tax liability the next month

One of my Client is a Private Limited Company engaged in construction of Flats and Sell them. The Company takes abatement and pays service tax @30% of 15% (i.e) 4.5%. including the value of land.

Whether the company can take CENVAT credit on input services like architect services, Service tax paid on painting contracts, service tax paid on electrical contracts etc.

Keeping in mind the definition of Input service under CENVAT credit rules which states specified services.

Whether the company can take CENVAT credit on the services tax paid on the input service?

Kindly Clarify.

Is the exemption limit of Rs.10 lacs applicable from gross amount of bill raised or net taxable services after abatement.

For example: If a contractor raises a bill of Rs.30 lacs in a year on account of construction of building. Is he liable to pay service tax as the taxable service is Rs.9 lacs (i.e 30 lacs - 70% abatement). He doesn't have any other receipt for the financial year.
