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.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

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.
