Service Tax with Rules and Allied Rules

Service Tax with Rules and Allied Rules is a practical, statute-first handbook that brings together the Service Tax statute, consolidated Rules and all major allied notifications and forms in a single, easy-to-use volume. Each chapter reproduces operative provisions and immediately follows them with plain-language annotations that clarify valuation, classification, exemptions, abatement, reverse charge liability and CENVAT credit mechanics. Procedural chapters explain registration, point-of-taxation, filing returns, audit and adjudication processes, and include model responses to show-cause notices and appeal roadmaps for tribunals. The book highlights significant jurisprudence with succinct case pointers showing how courts and tribunals have interpreted tricky valuation and exemption issues. Practical aids — quick checklists for month-end compliance, a forms directory, flowcharts for credit utilization and transitional rules — reduce lookup time and drafting effort. While useful as a legacy reference after GST, this compendium remains indispensable for handling transitional cases, appeals, input credit disputes and historical record-keeping. Carefully indexed with a detailed keyword TOC, the manual is built for tax advisers, chartered accountants, in-house tax teams and students who need an authoritative, application-oriented service tax resource.
