Background

The Finance Act 2012 has introduced a paradigm shift in the assessment and collection of service tax. The Central Board of Excise and Customs has clarified that service tax is a destination based consumption tax and the principle of consumption of service would determine the liability of service tax.

The statute further defines service in an all inclusive manner specifying only the exempted and negative listed services. The rules have been framed for determining the place of provision of service and further certain services have to be treated differently where the scope of payment of service tax under the reverse charge method, viz. the tax shift have been proposed. In fact, several new services under reverse charge mechanism have been specified.

In this scenario, MMA has strived to bring forth the officers of the department and the service provider / receiver together to achieve a common ground in the understanding of the new law.

The Distinguished Panelists and Speakers will interact with the participants and answer the questions raised by them during the Seminar.
