The Finance Bill, 2012 has massively rattled the provisions related to service tax enshrined in the Finance Act, 1994. A New reverse charge mechanism has been proposed by the Finance Bill, 2012. And by the latest Finance Bill, Section 68 (2) of the Finance Act, 1994 has been put under amendment to put the onus of payment of service tax on reverse charge basis partly on service provider and partly on service receiver. Three specific services i.e. hiring of means of transport, construction and man power supply have been chosen for this purpose.
In these CHA services, during the import or export of goods, apart from the service of CHA there are various other services which are involved like the port services, terminal handling service, cargo handling service, cleaning or fumigation of containers services etc. In most cases, it is the CHA who is dealing with the service providers providing these services on behalf of their customer.

The government is likely to exempt the services provided inside the Special Economic Zones from service tax, a move for which it is expected to seek approval from the Election Commission. Hitherto, service providers were paying taxes first and than claiming refunds, an issue on which the Commerce Ministry has written to the Ministry of Finance suggesting exemption from taxes.
Supply of tangible goods including machinery, equipments and appliance for use, without transferring right of possession and effective control of such tangible goods is a taxable service in terms of provision of Section 65 (105) (zzzzj) of the Finance Act, 1994. In some case, vehicles, aircrafts, vessels etc., are also supplied in the above manner and such activities also fall under the said taxable service.
THE jinxed tax that is Service Tax on GTA , is haunting the tax administration, courts and the hapless assessees for more than a decade. While the net collection from this tax would be less than peanut, the amount of litigation it has generated, must have cost the nation heavily – the Government should seriously consider doing away with this tax or maybe levying a flat 2% without credit.
By adopting practice of early and timely work disposal and for that purpose adopting some time saving practices, one can find lot of extra time for reading, writing, thinking and relaxation. Pending work causes lot of burden on your mind and heart- it is not good for health and wealth both. Reminders from clients should not be considered as indication of your importance but in nature of complaints. Still if you have an urge to feel reminders as praise, once a while you can delay some work, preferably a petty one and not very important to you, you will receive a reminder from client and that proves that even a petty work for you is important to the client.
