Hi,

I have registered a proprietorship firm in April 2016 and so far had transactions of 6 lakhs. As, I am growing I expect that it will increase to 12-15 lakhs in a year. Now, my question is that – I provide software services to my clients across globe and I do not sell any product. So, the complete amount billed per client will be considered for service tax @14.5%? I am confused with the rules here. Basically, I deal in amazon web services, and my clients pay me using paypal. I have a current bank account in name of my company where all incoming funds are credited, and I do have a team of 3-4 members to whom I pay wages using checks.

Please advise.

I am also willing to pay for the consultancy services here if someone can assist me. I need a loan and my home loan asked that you can include the income from company as well. For your information, I am also an employee of an IT company where I receive regular salary.

Thanks,

hi, new for this forum, iam receiving amount from foreign country for my work through my local bank, service tax or any tax applicable?

As per Section 35F of Central Excise Act made applicable to Service tax, pre-deposit is mandatory to file appeal in case duty or penalty is in dispute. Does not this mean that pre-deposit is not necessary in case exigibility to tax alone and not the duty or penalty is in dispute in the appeal? Is there any case law which deals with such a situation?

DEAR EXPERTS,

I would like to state that in one of my client, we have by mistake paid SBC excess instead of paying Service tax meaning thereby we have paid excess amount in the code of SBC, so can i adjust the excess paid SBC against payment of SBC in future or can i adjust this SBC against my liability of Service tax?

I know that CENVAT of SBC on input services cannot be availed but here it is not CENVAT but it is excess payment of SBC and therefore can we adjust this excess SBC against future SBC payable
