We have received advance payment of Rs 10 lacs in the month of March. We have discharged service tax on Rs 10 lacs in March on receipt basis. Later on the rate has changed from 10% to 12%. The billing in April is of Rs 15 lacs. SHould we discharge the additional service tax @ 2% on 10 lacs or only discharge 12% on Rs 5 lacs.
I think according to the POT rules I am not liable to discharge additional service tax @of 2%.
