Adjustment of Excess payment of service tax


11 January 2011 dear Friends,
my company has registration for 4 type of services. out of the 4 one is royalty in whcich we have wrongly paid excess service tax. now can i adjust that payment against my liability under any other head. if yes please provide me circular/notification number.

11 January 2011 The ST liability is not payable service wise but on the whole. Therefore the excess paid in one challan wouldbe adjustable for other. In future payment maybe made for the entity and not for the service to avoid confusion.

11 January 2011 where an assessee has paid to the credit of the government, in respect of taxable service , which is not so provided by him,either wholly of partly for any reason the assessee may adjust the excess service tax paid by him (calculation on a pro-rata basis) agaisnt his service tax liability for the subsquent period, if the assessee has refunded the taxable service & service tax thereon to the person from whom it was received (rule 6(3) of service tax act, 1994.

11 January 2011 please also noted that:-

it is important to note that any amount of service tax paid in excess of the actual liability , is refundable only it is proved that the claimant of refund already refunded such amount to the person from it was received or not collect all (section 11b of the central excise act 1994 which is applicable to service tax matters u/s 83 of the act.

Regards,

11 January 2011 @ Madhukar Sir...Bt we have to select service at the time of making payment, so i hve it can be paid for entity as a whole

11 January 2011 dear Madhukar Sir,
