Service Tax – Budget Highlights 2009

Monarch Bhatt-

The glimpse of service tax proposals forms the subject- matter of this article.

Nothing is certain but death and Tax- Benjamin Franklin

1. Economy may be good or bad, there may be any progress or not, there may be development or not, but imposition and leviability of taxes is certain for the growth of the country. Shri Pranab Mukherjee has also in his Budget done it for the benefit of the country at large.

2. There is no change in the rate of service tax, i.e., 10 per cent service tax, 2 per cent Education Cess and 1 per cent Higher and Secondary Education Cess.

Changes effective from July 7, 2009

3. The changes effective from July 7, 2009 are as follows :

(i) Territorial jurisdiction of ‘India’ extended - The territorial jurisdiction of India was extended up to Continental Shelf of India (CSI), i.e., up to 12 nautical miles and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Now, the territorial jurisdiction has been extended to cover the installations, structures and vessels in the entire CSI and EEZ.

(Notification No. 21/2009-ST, dated July 7, 2009)

The consequent change has also been made in the Taxation of Services (Provided from Outside India and Received in India) Rules, 2006.

(Notification No. 22/2009-ST, dated July 7, 2009)

Impact : Thus, now it will attract service tax even on services provided in (EEZ) area vice versa it will attract the service tax under a reverse charge mechanism if the service has been received in such area from the outside India. Up till now, it was not attracting service tax.

(ii) Composition scheme under works contract service - The composition scheme is one where the assessees are required to pay the service tax on the gross amount of contract including the labours and materials used in the contract and cannot avail the Cenvat credit of duty paid on inputs. However, it was not including the value of goods supplied free of cost by the service receiver to the service provider. Certain conditions have been introduced with respect to calculation of ‘value’ of works contract service.

a- The works contract will include the value of goods used in the execution of works contract when either goods have been provided by the receiver of the service free of charge or under any other contract entered between the service provider and service receiver (including the contract other than the principle contract).

b- The value of works contract will also include the value of machinery and tools used in the execution.

Note : The value will not include the Value Added Tax or sales tax paid on the goods.

(Notification No. 23/2009-ST, dated July 7, 2009)

Impact : This enables the Government to eliminate the chances for evasion of service tax by showing less value of material used in the execution of works and showing it as free material supplied by the client or under any other contract.

(iii) Exemption to a particular service under certain existing category

A. Tour operator service - Contract carriage - The exemption has been granted to the service provider having contract carriage permit for inter-State or intra-State transportation of passengers. However, the exemption has not been granted to the tour operator operating tour or providing charter or hire services in respect of vehicles.

The contract carriage permit means a motor vehicle used to transport the passengers for a hire and reward as per section 2(7) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
(Notification No. 20/2009-ST, dated July 7, 2009)

B. Banking and other financial services and Foreign exchange broking service - Foreign currency exchange - The inter-bank transaction for the sale and purchase of foreign currency between the scheduled bank has been exempted from the payment of service tax.

(Notification No. 19/2009-ST, dated July 7, 2009)

Impact : The Government has granted it as a exemption but on the contrary it will be difficult for the bank to avail the credit of input service as now banking companies are required to treat this service as exempted service.

C. Club or association service - Export promotion councils - The exemption has been granted to the export promotion councils including Federation of Indian Export Organisation and other such 21 organisations from the payment of service tax up to March 31, 2010 on the membership fees paid by the members to the association.
(Notification No. 16/2009-ST, dated July 7, 2009)

Impact : It is not much beneficial and whether such organizations are really liable for the payment of service tax under the Club and association services? Levy of service tax itself is challengeable so there is no need for granting any exemption.

(iv) Amendment in Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004

A. Change in rule 6 (3) - pay 6 per cent of exempted service and 5 per cent of exempted goods and avail full Cenvat credit - The service provider who is providing both exempted and taxable services and maintaining the separate account for the value of input services and inputs received, may avail full Cenvat credit and pay 6 per cent instead of paying 8 per cent of the exempted service.

Similarly, a manufacturer manufacturing both dutiable and exempted goods but not maintaining the separate accounts for the value of inputs and input services used in the manufacture of dutiable and exempted final products, may avail full credit and pay only 5 per cent of the exempted goods.

Note : It is optional and not mandatory for the service provider and manufacturer.

(Notification No. 16/2009-CE (N.T.), dated July 7, 2009)

Impact : The rate has been reduced to streamline it with the payment of taxes on final products as duty rates have been reduced to 4 per cent and 8 per cent and service tax has also been reduced on output service from 12 per cent to 10 per cent. Hence, this rate has also been reduced now.

B. Change in rule 3 (5B) - Payment of taxes equivalent to written off in the books of account by service provider - In any situation or due to any reason if service provider is writing off the input or capital goods fully or provision has been made for write-off, then in such cases service provider shall make the payment of credit availed on the value of input or capital goods. Similar provision is there for the manufacturer but for the service provider it was not there which has been inserted now.

Community Service $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Community service is a donated service or activity that is performed by someone or a group of people for the benefit of the public or its institutions. Volunteers may provide community service, however, not everyone who provides community service is seen as a volunteer, because some people who provide community service are not doing it of their own free will; they are compelled to do so by: their government as a part of citizenship requirements, in lieu of military service (such as the practice of Zivildienst in Germany); the courts, in lieu of, or in addition to, other criminal justice sanctions; their school, to meet the requirements of a class, such as in the case of service learning or to meet the requirements of graduation, or, in the case of parents, required to provide a certain number of hours of service in order for their child to be enrolled in a school or sports team. There are also people providing community service who receive some form of compensation in return for their year of commitment to public service, such as AmeriCorps in the USA (who are called members rather than volunteers).

Service Breakthroughs $16.35 What Do Citicorp, UPS and Marriott have in common? They are "breakthrough" service providers, firms that changed the rules of the game in their respective industries by consistently meeting or exceeding customer needs and expectations. To find out how these companies do it, service management experts James Heskett, Earl Sasser, and Christopher Hart put the question to the chief executive officers of fifteen of America's leading service firms attending a workshop at the Harvard Business School. Breakthrough leaders, they discovered, think very differently about their businesses than do their competitors, in distinct and well-defined ways. Now, in Service Breakthroughs, based upon five years of exhaustive research in fourteen service industries, Heskett, Sasser, and Hart show exactly what enables one or two companies in each industry to constantly set new standards for quality and value that force competitors to adapt or fail. At the heart of breakthrough performance, the authors contend, is a sometimes intuitive but thorough understanding of the "self-reinforcing service cycle" that replaces traditional management of "trade-offs." The "cycle" is a paradigm derived from the research results suggesting direct links between heightened customer satisfaction, increased customer retention, augmented sales and profit, improved quality and productivity, greater service value per unit of cost, improved satisfaction of service providers, increased employee retention, and further heightened customer satisfaction. With detailed examples and dramatic case studies of Mark Twain Bancshares, American Airlines, Florida Power & Light, Federal Express, McDonald's and many other companies, Heskett, Sasser, and Hart show how this self-reinforcing cycle of behavior differentiates breakthrough leaders from their "merely good" competitors. The authors describe how breakthrough managers develop counterintuitive, even contrarian, strategic service visions. These companies define their "service concept" in terms of results achieved for customers rather than services performed. They target market segments by focusing on psychographics -- how customers think and behave -- instead of demographics. And instead of viewing a service delivery system as a facility where the service is producted and sold, breakthrough firms see it as an opportunity to enhance the quality of the service. These profound differences in thought and action have brought spectacular results. For managers who wish to set the pace in their service industries, Service Breakthroughs will be essential reading.

Service Pack $76.47 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A service pack (in short SP) is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Many companies, such as Microsoft or Autodesk, typically release a service pack when the number of individual patches to a given program reaches a certain (arbitrary) limit. Installing a service pack is easier and less errorprone than installing a high number of patches individually, even more so when updating multiple computers over a network. Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, SP3 etc. 1] They may also bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features, as is the case of SP2 of Windows XP.
