As per the Central Board of Excise and Customs, bad debts are not allowed as deduction from service tax. The service tax department has clarified that if the amount of invoice is renegotiated due to deficient provision of service or due to terms of the contract (for example contingent on the happening or non-happening of a future event), the tax will be payable on the revised amount. This is subject to the excess amount either refunded or a suitable credit note issued to the service receiver. However, concession is not available for bad debts.
Thus, even if your client does not pay you, you are required to pay service tax.
