  1. 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)

    1. 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.

  2. MY CA suggest service tax not return need that GST marge so I not FILE SERVICE TAX RETURN FOR THE PERIOD APRIL, 17 TO JUNE, 17. ANY PENALTY SHOULD BE PAID ON LATE FILING OF SERVICE TAX RETURN IF TAX SHOULD BE PAID, THEN WHAT AMOUNT SHOULD BE PAY FOR LATE FILING OF SERVICE TAX RETURN

      1. Sir

        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.

        Regards

  4. I need to pay the ST for April to June 2017 for an amount of Rs.13,800. Can you pls let me know how much interest & Penalty I need to pay now. I am running a manpower consultancy.

    1. You have to pay interest:-
      -Interest @24% p.a. if (Will full default), Turnover >60Lakh.
      -Interest @21% p.a. if (Will full default), Turnover<=60Lakh. -Interest @15%p.a. if (If other than Willfull Default), Turnover>60Lakh.
      -Interest @12%p.a. if (If other than Willfull Default), Turnover<=60Lakh.

  5. I provided services to a Party in April 2017 for which invoice issued in June 2017. I paid service tax on that invoice and also considered in Service tax return for the 1st quarter of FY 2017-18.

    Now the party is saying that he will not payment Service tax amount, he will pay GST amount if Fresh GST invoice is issued to him. If I issue Fresh GST Invoice then I’ll have to pay GST which will double tax liability on my part and I’ll have to considered in GSTR-1 consequently invoice will be reflected in his GSTR-2A as required by him what can I do such case as I already paid services tax and filed service tax returns, please resolve my issue.

  6. Dear Sir,

    Due to misunderstanding, I have overlooked to file ST-3 Return after 30/06/2017. If I have to file an ST-3 return, from which site I have to file? and at what interest rate? Pls guide me urgently

    Thanks, N Regards

    1. 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)

  7. Sir, We have collected service tax on some invoice during 2nd Q of 2017-18 (July-sept) .how we need to treat the service tax what are the due dates for payment and return and which return need to be filed ST-3 or can it be shown under GST return?

    1. 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.

    1. 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.

  36. Hi

    Is there any service tax applicble on export of services , foreg refer to three scenarios :

    1) goods are exported from china to to Usa and the chineses vendor provide me commission .
    2) goods are exported from India to USA and the USA client provide commission .
    3) goods are exported from Indian to USA and Indian vendor provides me commission

  37. if failed to submit service tax return on 25/10/2016 relevant to April to Sep 2016, what is the procedure, or fine if any

    1. If you are failed to file the return on due date than you can file late returns too. According to the provision there are late file penalty provisions. But you can file the return without that too. After department will generate the late file liability and then you can pay only liability amount.

  38. Is the service tax due data calculated based on the Invoice date or on the date of payment?
    For e.g, I raise a invoice in Oct 2016, but the payment happens only after 90 days. Should I be paying by ST on 5th of Nov or after I receive the payment?

    1. Point of Taxation whichever is earlier:

      (a|) date on which invoice for the service provided /or to be provided is issued or

      (b) where the invoice is not issued within the 14 days of services completion then

      the date of completion shall be consider

      © in case of advance payment than date of advance payment

      Now in above case your tax liability is on 5th Nov

    1. If the Service provider have not make the payment to the government then Interest will be payable

      :

      From 14/05 /2016 onwards:

      1) 24% p a ( in case of Will full default and turnover > 60 Lacs )

      2) 21% p a (in case of Will full default and turnover <= 60 Lacs ) 3) 15% p a (in case of other than Will-Full Default and turnover > 60 Lacs)

      4) 12% p a (in case of other than Will-Full Default and turnover <= 60 Lacs) From 1/10/2014 till 13/05/2016: 1) 18% p a ( Upto 6 Months and Turnover > 60 Lacs)

      2) 15% p a (Upto 6 Months and Turnover <= 60 Lacs) 3) 24% p a (6 Months to 1Year and Turnover > 60 Lacs)

      4) 21% p a (6 Months to 1Year and Turnover <= 60 Lacs) 5) 30% p a (More than 1 Year and Turnover > 60 Lacs)

      6) 27% p a (More than 1 Year and Turnover <= 60 Lacs)

      1. If the Service provider have not make the payment to the government then Penalty will be payable for fy 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16 & 2016-17 (Please Clear Due Date of Penalty)

  39. I am an Individual entered into an consultancy agreement of 5.00 lac pm since July15.
    Shall I require to pay Service Tax monthly basis or Quarterly Basis wef April2016.

    1. Individual/ partnership firm/ one person Company/HUF is required to make payment of Service tax to Government by the 6th day of the month in case of e-payment or by the 5th day of the month in any other case immediately following quarter in which the service is provided or agreed to be provided.

  40. Hello Sir,
    Our company is an IT company which provide its services in USA only not in India. Its a partnership firm. Owner is from USA. So, are we liable to pay service tax? If Yes, so on which amount?

      1. Here you are saying that if the service provider is in India he is liable to pay Service Tax, in reply of export of services to USA , and again on November 17 in reply of Suresh’s question you are saying that Export of services is Exempted. Can you please make it more clear and appropriate.
        Basically my question is in between these two.
        we are giving technical and consultation services to our clients based at US,EUROPE,SINGAPORE and getting the payments in USD so are we liable. we are based in India and 100% indian entity.

  41. I am using Genius and in the service tax return the due date is 29/04/2016 for the 2nd half of the Financial Year 2015-16.

    Can you please arrange a notification for extension of due dates.

    1. Service Tax is applicable on services provided in India where as Income tax is a tax which is applicable on direct income of the assessee. If you are a businessman and providing services, in that case you have to disclose details of services provided in profit and loss account but that whole income is not chargeable for Income Tax in that case Income tax will be applicable only after allowing all expenditure from gross amount charged. Hence both are different taxes, Income tax is a direct tax and other one is indirect tax and changeability of both is also different.

      1. @Naveen shekhawat- service tax payment qtr.Apr to Jun service tax due date-5 July.and march month due date-31 mar.
