One of our client received notice from Service Tax Department for the services provided to MES which are fully exempt as per notification no 25/2012. The assessing officer allowing exemption but he is now demanding Contract Copy between me & MES as well as stamp duty paid. I told him about as the MES is government entity, they allot work on the basis of tender published and not forms any kind of contract. As I received the tender, I paid the Security Deposit & not the stamp duty. But, he is not accepting the same.

Please give a expert favor...

Hi,

We have received the order against our SCN and in the same, the officer has denied our input tax credit as it was not recorded in service tax returns. The input tax credit invoices are of December 2016 and January 2017.
My question is, from when do we calculate the interest on the denied ITC and at what rate? I believe there's two rates for paying service tax interest. (24% if service tax is collected and not paid and 15% if service tax not collected and not paid). In which situation do we exactly fall?

Dear sirs, Goods and service tax department issued notices to contractors carrying on highways work only. They are asking if there is a probability of service tax evasion for the year 2016-17.
