01 February 2011 My accountant has advised me that Service tax is deposited on receipt basis not on bill basis.

I have a following query.

For example the service tax for a period is Rs. 1ac.

service Tax receipt for the same period is Rs.80K and tax is deposited in time.

Balance service tax amount Rs. 20K is realized in 1-2 months.

Please advise, What is the time frame to deposit the balance service tax amount.

Regards.
