My accountant has advised me that Service tax is deposited on receipt basis not on bill basis.

I have a following query.

For example the service tax for a period is Rs. 1ac.

service Tax receipt for the same period is Rs.80K and tax is deposited in time.

Balance service tax amount Rs. 20K is realized in 1-2 months.

Please advise, What is the time frame to deposit the balance service tax amount.

Our company purchases steel pipes. From those pipes, we get scaffolding manufactured from another company. Scaffolding is given out on hire to our clients. It is erected & dismantled by our labour at client's site.
Are we eligible for CENVAT credit on those pipes? Can we use CANVAT credit on those pipes against service tax on labour charges for erection & dismantling of scaffolding?

A chartered accountant has rendered taxable services for a value of rs. 9 lacs. In the same year he gets a bank audit assignment which would take his taxable service beyond the threshold of 10 lacs. In this case, how will he raise a bill for the bank audit services because a portion of the bill would be within the threshold and balance only would actually be taxable. However, to the bank, you have to intimate whether you are liable for service tax or not and levy service tax if it is applicable.What is the methodology for raising the bill, filing returns and payment of tax as you would have collected service tax on the total bill value and not on the amount exceeding the threshold. Learned forum members views solicited.Thanks
