My client also raised service tax invoice for H2,
His client did not pay him. Just wanted to check, how did we treat this in service tax return. Do we pay service tax in ST return or show credit note?

The debt if partially recovered is to be adjusted in the first place against service tax. If the debt is not received at all (including the amount of service tax), then you can claim the same in LESS payment of service tax

Does it impact if service provider is individual or company

Also please confirm if we have to issue any credit note or just, writing off in our books is sufficient.

yes, it does. because for company, we pay service tax on due basis. In case of company also, you can adjust the payment of service tax in the month when the debt is turned out to be BAD.

The person who is NOT paying anything to you????? It is NOT at all advisable to be FORMALLY also raise credit note. By issuing credit note, you are confirming that the debt is not bad but debt is wrongly raised. Dont try to be over polite with the person who is NOT paying your debt. Right?
