The presumptions in law have very vital role and legislature has power to presume certain things under certain circumstances.

Section 6-A of the Central Sales Tax Act,1956 is exercise of such power by the Parliament of India.

The section was inserted in Central Sales Tax Act by CST (Amendment Act) 1972 with the following object

Enhancement of taxable value in works contract

E-Payment of service Tax- Made Compulsory to every Assessee

From 01^st April 2010, e-payment of service tax is mandatory for those assessee who had paid excise duty or service tax of Rs. 10 lakhs or more in the preceding financial year, whether

by cash or debit in Cenvat credit account or both [vide circular No. 919/09/2010-CX dated-23.03.2010]. But now Rule 6(2) of the Service Tax Rules, 1994 will be amended with effect from 1-10-2014.

Change in Point of Taxation Rule- Service Tax

At present Rule 7 of the Point of Taxation Rules 2011 has overriding effect over all rules.

However in the budget 2014-15 an amendment has been effected which will be effective from 1^st day of October 2014. Under service tax Return is filed on half yearly basis i.e. 1^st April to 30^th Sep and 1^st Oct to march that’s why change has been effected from 1st Oct to avoid any difficulty in implementation of the provision.

After change , Rule 7 will not override the Rule 5 which deals with point of taxation in relation to service tax on new services.

 Presently first proviso to Rule 7 provides that where the payment is not made within a period of 6 months of the date of invoice, the point of taxation shall be determined as if this rule does not exist.

But after amendment, the proviso would be 'where the payment is not made within a period of 3 months of the date of invoice, the point of taxation shall be the date immediately following the said period of 3 months.'

Personal taxation and filing your Income tax return (ITR)

It is my constant endeavor to share knowledge & information to increase the awareness about the provisions of taxation because lack of awareness is the main reason for low level of compliance towards tax laws.

The filing of ITR is a legal obligation of every person whose total income during the previous year ( i.e. F.Y.2013-14) exceeds the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income tax ( i.e. Rs.2,00,000/-).

Presently there is an emphasis on self compliance by the taxpayer and Income Tax department, except in few cases, accept your ITR as it is by intimation given under section of the 143(1) of the Income tax Act. Therefore it is expected that taxpayer should disclose correct & complete information while filing ITR.
