Deemed sale – it is a critical aspect of the Sales Tax law and it is going to have direct impact on the upcoming Negative list scheme. The new definition of service as defined in context of negative list excludes the deemed sale. In other words, service tax is not to be levied on the deemed sale. However, simultaneously, the concept of declared services is also brought into the service tax law where certain services are declared to be services for the purpose of levy of service tax. Some of these declared services are part of transactions which include the deemed sale; thus, there are certain transactions which will be subject to both sales tax as well as service tax. This bit of diction is about those transactions which will suffer dual taxes – sales tax as well as service tax.
With effect from 01-07-2012 section 66B of Chapter V of Finance Act, 1994 shall govern the CHARGE of service tax . Accordingly there shall be levied a service at the rate of 12% on the value of all services, other than those services specified in the negative list, provided or agreed to be provided in the taxable territory by one person to another and collected in such manner as may be prescribed.
