chow choppe Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi all indian friends i want to know that the we are into field of architectural visualizations in from of stills and animations. i want to know that whether we are liable to charge service tax from our clients if the annual income exceeds the prescribed amount i.e 8 lakhs for this year and 10 i think for the next financial year onwards. my reference told me that computer visualizations business is not supposed to charge service tax. I am confused can anyone help me please Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anindia Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Dear Chow, There no way you can avoid service tax if your client is Indian. You have to pay full amount S.T. for local projects. in case of Overseas projects,you will get that benefit - because you are not proving your service within country, so no question of service tax. Thanks. ( Better to consult a good C.A.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow choppe Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 i discussed with y CA and he told me if we term our job as computer visualizations business then we can avoid it.i think our job is so unique that a CA cannot ubderstand the scope of work completely and when u insert the word architectural into it automatically becomes liable for service tax i am confused and wanna be sure for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
