Circular No. 159/10/2012-ST A doubt has been raised whether service tax is leviable on the audit fees collected by the CAG for conducting directly, audit of corporations. Reportedly some field formations are inclined to take a view that such ‘audit fee’ collected by the CAG is leviable to service tax under the authority of the inclusive portion of the definition of practicing chartered accountant read with the relevant definition of the taxable service [Section 65(83) read with section 65(105)(s) of Finance Act, 1994].
Upto 30.06.2012, the charging Section for the purpose of Service tax is Section 66 of the Finance Act, 1994 according to which service tax is levied at the rate of 12% on all taxable services. With effect from 01.07.0212, Section 66 will no longer be in force and a new charging section 66B will take its place. Section 68 stipulates that service tax is payable by the service providers at the rate specified under Section 66 in such manner as may be prescribed. This Section is continued in the Finance Act, 1994 even from 01.07.2012. Government has now realised its mistake and come with a order specifying the charging section for service tax w.e.f 01.07.2012 to 66B.
