Dear Entrepreneurs,
Service Tax : Recent Changes & Key Challenges
17 May 2008: 0900 hrs – 1730 hrs; Hotel Mandovi
The CII Goa State Office is organizing a one-day programme on Service Tax: Recent Changes & Key Challenges on 17 May 2008: 0930 hrs – 1700hrs at Hotel Mandovi, Panaji. (Registration commences 0900hrs.)
Background & Objective: The explosion in service tax collections during the past few years has made it the fastest growing tax for the Government and there are few services used in trade and commerce, which are not now covered by the service tax legislation. Despite the all encompassing nature of the tax, there has not been adequate clarity on the legal provisions or their implications. Further, being of relatively recent origin and on account of being covered by an amalgalm of nine separate pieces of legislation, there have been several issues faced by the industry in the areas of Classification, Valuation, Taxability, Export, Reverse Charge, Cenvat Credit etc. The Recent Union Budget has also notified several new services and changes to the scope of some of the existing services. All of these present significant challenges to the trade and industry. A necessity was therefore felt to have a full day programme covering some of the recent changes and the key challenges in the arena of service tax.
Coverage:
> Service Tax Background and Overview,
> Key provisions and mechanism
> Service tax categories –Relevance & recent changes
> Valuation of Services and necessity
> Export of services and industry issues
> Reverse charge mechanism and how it operates
> Credit Mechanism and recent changes
> Q & A
