21 March 2009 you will need to issue credit note to the service provider to enable him to recredit his account for the excess service tax, which if paid by him can be adjusted subsequently.

Mere reversal in your books of accounts will not give substantial rights to the service provider for the excess service tax charged.

You need to take proportionate credit, however avoid changes on the invoice, if at all you have to show corrections they can be done at the end of the invoice, to avoid disallowance if original value on the invoice are tempered.

However if you have inadvertantly carried out the corrections then you will need to seek signature of the service provider on the invoice (the same person who had signed the invoice)

You need to be the querist or approved CAclub expert to take part in this query .
