01 June 2016 One of my client is providing GTA services to only one company on which Reverse Charge Mechanism is applicable. So the company pays service tax on the consignment note to the Service Tax Department. Due to which the no service tax is payable by my client. Now, the client needs to file his service tax return on which no service tax is payable. So in gross amount charged in return what has to be mentioned and how its return has to be filed. Please guide

And since no service tax has been paid and the return is being filed late, does he need to pay penalty for late filing of return. Kindly revert.
