A comprehensive analysis of the definition of the term "Service" as per Finance Act, 1994. This presentation will guide about what all are the services that can be liable to service tax subject to other provisions of the Finance Act, 1994.
Service tax continues to be a complex tax law. The makers of law, in effort to project GST as the future law, preferred to ignore the agony of the tax payer in its current form.
The way things are moving GST is not slated to be a better tax law and shall give more pain than relief. The debate on GST is going to be a long battle. Advisable to digest the present service tax law as in all probability it would form basis for the new law.
This PPT talks about the services rendered outside the Territorial waters and the Service Tax applicability on the same. Under the International Law, recent developments have shown that the territory of a country, for exercising their jurisdictional rights and internal laws, has been extended to the Continental shelf and the Exclusive Economic Zones. But the rights given to the coastal country are limited and restricted. When compared with the previous notification passed by the Central Government, now the service tax will be charged irrespective of the area being designated or non-designated in the EEZ and the Continental shelf. This paper will analyse the implementations of the new amended notification. It will also compare the new notification with the other notifications of the Customs & Excise Act and Income Tax Act for drawing an extent of the applicability of the act to the territory of India, whether or not Service Tax can be charged for an area outside the territorial waters.
On 16 March 2012, the Honorable Finance Minister of India presented in the Parliament the country's Finance Bill for 2012-13, containing proposals on direct and indirect taxes, and key policy initiatives.
In this regard , we are pleased to release the update capturing the key amendments proposed by Finance Bill 2012, in Service Tax provisions of Indian Indirect Tax Law.
The key highlights of the major changes suggested are as follows:
Introduction of Negative List.
Changes in the rate of tax.
Changes in Valuation Rules.
Point of Taxation Rules amended.
We hope this makes for an interesting and informative read.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

10. POINT OF TAXATION….
Until March, 2011 service tax liability arose only after receipt of payment from service
receiver but since April, 2011 it has been shifted from cash basis to accrual basis.
Point of Taxation Rules, 2011 were introduced w.e.f. 01-04-2011 so as to determine the
point at which any service shall be deemed to have been provided and the service tax
thereon becomes due.
Three important dates relevant for determining the point of taxation are:
Date of Invoice
Date of Payment – Date of Credit to Bank A/c or in Books, whichever is earlier.
Date of Completion of Service*
Generally, Point of Taxation (POT) shall be the date of invoice if the same is raised within
30 days of completion of service, otherwise the date of completion of service shall be
POT.
However, cases where payment is received in advance against any service then the date
of receipt of payment shall be the POT irrespective of the date of invoice.
*In case of continuous supply of service, date of completion of service shall be replaced by date of
completion of an event which requires service receiver to make payment.
11. ….POINT OF TAXATION
POT under specified events:
Two out of three dates, occurring either before
Events: or after any of such event, shall be considered
Change in Rate of Tax or for determining POT and the date which occurs
Introduction of New Service first shall be the point at which service tax
liability arises.
It means the date which occurs first among the two dates falling after/before an
event shall be taken as point of taxation and service tax shall be levied accordingly.
For Example:-
XYZ Ltd has rendered taxable services to ABC Ltd in March 2012 for which invoice has
been raised on 15-04-2012 and the payment is received on 05-05-2012.
In this case, point of taxation shall be 15-04-12 and the effective rate of tax at such point
shall be applied i.e. 12%. Had the payment is received on 31-03-12 then POT shall be 31-
03-12 and so service tax shall be charged at the rate of 10% only.
12. ….POINT OF TAXATION
POT under Reverse Charge Provisions:
In terms of Rule 7 to POT Rules, where service receiver is liable to pay service tax, the
point of taxation shall be the date on which value of service has been paid to service
provider.
However, if payment is not made to service provider within six months from the date of
invoice then POT shall be deemed to be the date of invoice of input services.
Cases where services are received from an associated enterprises located outside
India, POT shall be the date of debit in books of accounts of service receiver or date of
payment whichever is earlier.
POT Rules doesn’t apply
in following cases:
Service provider (individual or partnership firms) having turnover of Rs.50 Lakhs in
preceding Financial Year has the option to pay service tax on cash/receipt basis upto the
value of services of Rs.50 Lakhs in current year.
13. INTERPRETATION RULES….
Prior to July, 2012 section 65A of the Act provides the principles for classification of
service based on which services are to be classified under 119 clauses of section 65(105)
of the Act.
Now w.e.f. 01-07-2012 section 66F of the Act laid down the principles for interpreting the
description of services and also the classification in case of bundled services.
Rule: 1
Input services used for providing main service shall not infer its taxability from the main
service. Thus, services used for providing exempted service may not necessarily be
exempted.
Eg. Services like security services provided in relation to collection of Toll Tax for access of any
road, a non-taxable service, shall not be considered as Non-taxable.
Rule: 2
Cases where differential treatment is possible based on the descriptions of services then
services with Specific description shall be preferred over general description.
Eg. Services of a real estate agent in relation to an immovable property located outside India shall
not be considered as non-taxable service since the more specific description for such service is
intermediary services and place of provision of such service is place of its performance and not the
location of the property and thus services are taxable.
14. ….INTERPRETATION RULES
Cases where bundle of services are provided then tax on services shall be dealt in given
manner:
*It has been clarified that the service which provides economic value to the service
recipient will be considered as essential service for the purpose of classification.
15. REVERSE CHARGE MECHANISM
Section 68(2) of the Act provides that any person other than the service provider may
be liable to pay service tax on such services in such manner as may be prescribed.
The Scope of such section has been widened w.e.f. 01-07-2012 by way of introducing
more services under Reverse Charge Provisions through Notification No. 30/2012.
SALIENT FEATURES
Liability to pay service tax has been shifted, wholly or partly, from service provider to
service receiver.
Business Entities are now made liable to pay service tax, consequently, the burden of
individual service providers to comply with the provisions of Service Tax Regime have
been reduced. In some cases partnership firms have also been relieved from this
burden.
Service receiver shall remain be liable to pay tax even if service provider has not
charged service tax on its invoices since threshold limit of Rs.10 Lacs does not apply
under Reverse Charge Provisions.
