Dear All, Please we need clarification on following under Gujarat Region Laws.
Facts: 1) There is a Contract between a unit of Ltd. Company and the contractor in Gujarat. The Ltd. Company is registered in Maharastra. 2) Cement and steel will be supplied by Company to Contractor. (within same state.) 3) The Contractor bills in stages after certified by Architect. 4) The Contractor is charging 4.12% Service Tax on full amount including Cement and steel supplied by Company.
The queries are: 1) What is the TDS to be deducted under VAT Gujarat Law. 2) Whether 4.12% Service tax rate is correct. 3) Whether Service tax on full is correct. (We can segregate the value between these materials and work). 4) In case service tax is payable then can we take credit of VAT paid on material purchased. 5) Also whether credit can be taken on Service Tax payable on this capital expenditure as per Service Tax Act as allowed in other capital assets in normal cases. 6) Is there any way by composition or otherwise where tax payable will be at lesser rate. 7) When is the TDS to be deducted and deposited. 8) In case TDs delayed what are the charges/penalty.
