Levy of service tax on railway freight which was supposed to be effective from April 1 has been deferred once again by three more months to July 1, 2011- thanks to our Railways Minister. The historic amendment in levy of service tax by moving from cash basis of taxing services to accrual basis has come into force from April 1, 2011 against all hopes of it getting deferred by three months to July 2011, as announced by the Finance Minister. However , it has come into force but some flexibility has now been provided to taxpayers. All tax payers have been given an option to switch over to accrual basis either form April or July this year, thus offering three months of breathing time to adjust to such system, understand it and make suitable modification in software and accounting methods. It will become mandatory for all taxpayers from July, 2011. Under the new system, service tax would be payable on earliest happening of the three events- completion of provision of service or date of invoicing or date of payment. Till 31st March, it was date of payment which was reckoned to be the date on which service tax became due.

Thus, exercise of revisional jurisdiction under Section 84(4) of the Finance Act, 1994 when appeal had been preferred was not permissible. The view taken by the Tribunal is consistent with above statutory provision.
Ld. Counsel Shri Pahwa argues that the second category of work carried out with M/s. Unitech Machines Ltd., Gurgaon is exhibited by para 34 of the adjudication order at page 94. In this case, the appellant acted as a sub-contractor and tax liability has been discharged by the principal contractor. According to him such aspect remains undisputed by Revenue, in which no liability arose. But this is subject to scrutiny in the course of regular hearing.

Industry chamber Assocham today said the government’s decision to revise taxes on currency conversion would increase transaction cost and hit the country’s exports. This charge, on the differential between RBI reference rate and the rate at which transaction is booked, will significantly increase transaction costs and decrease India’s competitiveness in global markets, the apex chamber said.
