Status of S.L.P. filed by State Govt. of A.P. & also State Govt. of Jharkhand re. entry Tax.

Sirs,

Recently High Court of Andhra Pradesh stuck down the Entry Tax on Entry of Goods into Local Areas Act, 2001 imposed by the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh in the case of Shree Rayalaseema

and also

High Court of Jharkhand has stuck down imposition of Entry Tax on goods entering into local area (the tax charged by State govt. of Jharkhand) in the case of Tata Steel Ltd. vs. State of Jharkhand.

I understand in both the cases the respective State Governments have filed S.L.P. in Supreme court.

Can learned friends guide me with the present status where the S.L.Ps are admitted by the S.C. or any stay is granted by S.C.

Regards.

SERVICE TAX

what are services for which service tax is to be paid ?

FBT - Is it required to be paid when not claimed for Income

FBT is not a tax on Income

FBT is a tax on expenses

Is FBT applicable when some one is not claiming those expenses at all?

Two scenarios:

01. When a company's total income is exempted, the company can prepare memo of Income by disallowing the expenses subject to FBT and arrive at profit / loss. Suich profit is escalated to the extent of expenses subject to FBT. However, the profit is not taxable, since exempted.

02. When a company's Carry Forward Loss is huge and by not claming expenses subject to FBT the profit can be arrived.

Since this action doesn't have any impact on Book Profit, the status of MAT liability may not undergo any alteration.

Please clarify

Service Tax

Dear Sir(s),

Director's remuneration is paid in the form of :-

a) Sitting Fee

b) Fixed monthly Remuneration, and

b) Commission.

The directors do not raise any bill for such remuneration and the remuneration is calculated by the company under permissible limits given as per company law. Is there any service tax liability on the above under the Management or Business Consultants Services / Business Auxiliary Services?

Is the treatment same in case of Nominee / Independent Directors?

query regading imposition of penalty under VAT act

Dear sirs,
under the karnataka VAT Act a single day delay in filing of monthly retuns directs the VAT officers to levy 10% of penalty on tax amount by using the word "Shall".

we have a business in udupi and our monthly VAT tax for July 08 was of Rs 556000/-. we usually file the returns on 20th day of every month. on aug 08 ie the last date for filing vat retuns for July 08 there was a nationwide strike called by left parties. so we have filed returns on 21st day of aug 08. now after a month we have received a notice proposing penalty of 10% ie Rs 55600/- with seven days time to Show cause.

officer claims to have acted under law. is there any judgement/ cases were i can claim that penalty can be waived during unavoidable circumstances, even though the Act is strict about ts levy?.

Please reply at the earliest.
