I am registered for one of the service in financial year 08-09 and i had paid service tax for it, but their are few more services for which i am not registered but have receivables in those services and have not paid any services tax for them neither have i collected it, total of my all taxable services is less than Rs10.00 lac , so am i liable to pay service tax for those other services or not.Also if i am liable to pay service tax for them, what can I do now since i have already filed return for the year(it has been more than 60 days).

1. What are the last date's for submission of service tax return in a year ?
2. when the service tax challan is deposited, what is the cahllan No. ?

Company A & Company B are are sharing 1st floor of a premise. Company A & B by mutual agrrement decided to go for renovation of first floor. It was decided that Company A will pay for whole renovation and afterward company A will raise a debit note on company B for their share of expenses. All bills of renovation are on the name of company A which include VAT & Service tax also. How the cost can be allocated to Company B so that there in no problem in the assessment related to VAT & Service tax.

While working out ST liability for the month of October' 2009, i faced the following problems at some client place:
1. They are using SAP and it does not automatically transfer ST availed to ST utilised on part payment of bills, though cleared bills credit is transfered but problem comes with part payment bills.
2. If payment is made in advance or payment is made in round figures then also it doesn't knock off this payment with bills.
And they have almost 4000 vendors who provide bills including ST.

Problem is how to transfer the correct amount from ST Receivables to ST Utilised Account???

Can a service provider forego the abatement of 67% during the year in the case of an ongoing contract and start paying service tax on full value and CLAIM CENVAT CREDIT FROM THE DATE ON WHICH HE STARTS PAYING ON FULL VALUE AT FULL RATE WITHOUT ABATEMENT. CAN DEPARTMENT SAY THAT ABATEMENT OPTION ONCE EXERCISED CANNOT BE WITHDRAWN IN THE MID OF THE YEAR.

If a service provider engaged in Construction of residential complex service was availing benefit of abatement of NT 1/2006 i.e 67% from say 1.4.2009 to 30.9.09, and therefore did not avail CENVAT Credit. Now the service provider wishes to forego this abatement w.e.f 1.10.2009 and start paying service tax on entire taxable value @10.3%. The question is "will he be entitled to claim CENVAT Credit on inputs, capital goods and input services purchased/used by him on and after 1.10.2009". He is not intended to claim credit for prior period. What will be the tax implications in such a case.
