Service received in June 2017, Invoice submitted and payment made on July 2017, Service tax remitted on 5th August, In this case, how can I file ST3 (April – June)
As per Rule 3, Point of taxation is determined on the basis of earlier of following-
a) The time when the invoice for the service provided or to be provided is issued OR
b) Where the person providing the service, receives a payment
Provided that the invoice has been issued within 30 days from the completion of provision of Service. Otherwise, POT shall be the date of completion of provision of Service.
As per above rule, your POT in your case is June 2017, so accordingly service provided is taxable in June.

I have raised service tax invoices of Rs 30 Lacs in Quarter 3 & 4 of FY 2016-17 but I paid Service Tax on actual receipt basis & not on Invoice Value because my firms’ turnover is only Rs 30 Lacs. Out of these Rs 30Lacs invoices, I have received the payment of Rs 15 Lacs in Q4 of FY 2016-17 for which I paid Service tax on 4.Apr.2017. Then Rs 5 Lacs were received in Q1 of FY 2017-18 for which I paid service tax on 5.July.17. And the remaining amount of Rs 10 Lacs was received in Q2 of FY 2017-18 for which I have not paid any service Tax as by that time GST has been implemented. Now pls let me know how can I pay Service tax on this Rs 10 Lacs receipt & how to calculate the fine.
Kindly help me.

Thanks, N Regards
You can file the ST-3 return on http://www.aces.gov.in with payment of interest @ 24%/18% (whichever is applicable).
Is there any requirement for filing any annual return of service tax for FY 2016-17?
Yes, there is no requirement to file an annual return of service tax.
Can you please tell me how to calculate the fine and/or the interest now for the ST-3 payment that was due on 16/08/2017?
The due date of payment for service tax for the quarter apr to June was due on 5th July (6th in case of digital payments). So interest will be calculated accordingly:
1. 24%- in case of will full default( turnover exceeds 60lakhs)
2. 21%- in case of will full default(turnover does not exceed 60lakhs)
3. 15%- in case of non will full default( turnover exceeds 60lakhs)
4. 12%- in case of non-will full default( turnover does not exceed 60lakhs)

Service tax has been abolished from 30th June 2017. so you cannot collect service tax. there is no provision to file the return for Q2. you need to cancel the previously issued invoice and issue a new invoice with GST.

I have not been able to pay the Service Tax for my Flat purchased and possessed on the 18th June 2017, though it was scheduled as per Agreement to get the possession before 29th January 2015 i.e. within a year as per Agreement for sale dated 29th January 2014. But due to deliberate negligence of the Builder, it was handed over to me on the Date of possession (i.e. 18-06-2017). Due to some unavoidable circumstances created by the said builder, I could not pay the Service Tax for the same because even he did not let me know the exact amount of service tax to be paid and the date of expiry of the service tax payment in spite of my repeated reminder in writing and over the phone. Now the question is due to his deliberate negligence, how should I pay the same whether it is as Service Tax or as GST for Registration of my apartment which bears the Total Purchase for Rs.34,50,000/- only. (payment is made in six instalments in different period). Pl.let me know the procedure.
If consideration is paid before imposition of GST, and also liability arises before GST then you need to deposit service tax now with interest.
We are service provider as comprehensive with the material, what is GST Liability?
If you are service provider then rate as applicable to your service category will apply.
