(1) Incorrect:
From 1st April 2012 there was a change in effective rate of tax i.e. it changed from 10.30% to
12.36% hence Point of Taxation Rule 4 is applicable. Date of payment in case when there is change in effective rate of tax is the date on which payment is credited in the bank Account if the same is not credited in bank account within 4 days. In the given case the Date of Payment is 15/04/2012
Assuming that the invoice is issued before 1st April 2012 we can say that the Point of taxation is on
30th March 2012 & in such Situation where Invoice is issued & service rendered before the both are before the date on which there is change in effective rate then old rate else new rate will apply.

(2) Incorrect:
Above Statement is on Negative list of service which do not cover Mailing service by way of Speed
Post but it do not mention that it will also not cover registered post. Hence considering the same we can say that the registered post is covered under Negative List & Not liable to Service Tax.
(3) Incorrect:
Service tax is Consumption base tax. i.e. the place of consumption of service is more important.
Jammu & Kashmir are not a taxable territory hence service rendered there by any person is not liable to service tax. But when any person who is residing in Jammu and Kashmir & is providing tax in
Taxable Territory is liable to Service Tax & Patna is a Taxable Territory.
(4) Correct:
As per Section 65B(44) i.e. Definition of Service "Service is an Activity Carried out by a Person for
Another for Consideration" therefore atleast 2 person are necessary. Self service is not a service. In similar manner when a branch provides service to its other branch or Head office is service provided to self hence out of the preview of the definition of Service hence not liable to tax.

7. (a)
(i) Advance Tax is payable by an assessee on his Total Income, which includes Capital Gains & Casual
Income like Lotteries Income, Crossword Puzzles etc.,
As it is not possible for the assessee to estimate his Capital Gain, or Income from lotteries etc. well in advance, it has been provided that if any such income arises (i.e. not on estimate but on actual basis) after the due date for any installment, then, the entire amount of tax payable (after considering tax deducted at source) on such Capital Gain & Casual Income should be paid in the remaining
Installments of advance tax, which are due after such date of arising of Income by way of Capital
Gain or Casual Income.
Where no such installment is due (i.e. Capital Gain or Casual Income arising after 15th March), the the entire tax should be paid by 31st March of the relevant Financial Year.
If all the above procedure is followed then no interest liability on late payment would arise if the entire tax liability is so paid.
(ii)For Income tax purpose Firm is Defined to include Limited Liability partnership as defined under
Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008.
It is also Said that the Partner shall include Partner of Limited Liability Partnership.
It is also Said that the Partnership shall include Partner of Limited Liability Partnership.
& It is also Said that the Firm shall include Partner of Limited Liability Partnership.
Hence in view of all the above it is clear that the LLP is liable to tax at 30% as that of firm. And it has to also comply with provision laid down in 40(b). But LLP is kept out of the scope of Section 44AD.
Return of LLP will be signed by Designated Partner under section 140 but in absence of designated partner any other partner.
(iii)
(A) Head of Income: Profits & Gains from Business or Profession
Section 22 basis of charge of House Property says that property can be used for any purpose other than the business of the Assessee. When assessee carries on business in his own property it becomes property of business & section 32 on depreciation is also on Nature of use. Hence depreciation is applicable at appropriate rate.
(B) Head of Income: B's Income - House Property & X's - Income Other Source
Section 22 basis of charge of House Property put forth the most Important condition of Ownership of the property. Since B is the owner his Income shall be charged to House Property.
But since X is not the owner his income can't be taxed under the head House Property. But Basis of
Charge of Other Source Section 56(1) say that if the income is of revenue in nature & is not taxed under any head then it is taxed under the head other source.
(C) Head of Income: B's Income - House Property
Section 27 on deemed ownership says that if the lease period is more than 12 year it will be deemed that the lessee is the deemed owner of House Property. & Hence it will be charged to house property. But he has to compulsory avail 30% statutory deduction he cannot avail deduction on actual basis which is totalling to 40%.
