In case of reverse charge service tax is payable by service receiver - how is the due date reckoned for payment of tax in case of security services, from date of invoice or date of payment to service provider? Reply with suitable notification / circular.

I had filed ST3 return on 28.01.2013 instead of 25.10.2011 for the year 2011-12 (April to September). Now the ST range has sent a notice to pay the penalty of Rs.20,000 immediately for delay in filing return.
I want to know whether there is any provision or any case which i can use for not paying the penalty as our business is in loss. Now my business is in loss and i cant pay that much of penalty.
Please help me there is any way for not paying the penalty.

Service tax return for the period Oct-March 2013 UPLOADED on 30-08-2013 but the STATUS was shown as REJECTED due to some errors than after necessary corrections again UPLOADED on 10-09-2013 the STATUS of which is again showing as REJECTED with the reason that "Return for 2012-13,Oct.-March period has been already filed.Please select the correct return period"

As per service tax law:
(a)REJECTED denotes that return is rejected due to errors. (The assessees are required to correct the return and upload it again.)

(b)in case of Service tax, the assessee can revise the return within a period of 90 days from the date of filing their original return.

So until status is showing FILED it can not be REVISED.So till status is REJECTED the return is to be corrected & UPLOADED

I have doubt regarding claiming of Input Credit paid under Service Tax Reverse Charge Mechanism.

I have recd. invoice of Rs. 100000/- from the service tax provider under works contract on 10t August, 2012, in which I have to pay service tax @ 50% of the service valued i.e. is (6.18%) Rs.6180/- at the time of payment to the service provider. I have made the payment on 15th October, 2012 so my liability to pay service tax on reverse charge arises in the month of October, 2012. But I have paid the Service tax under reverse charge on the month of 10th February, 2013 with Interest on delay of Payment for 4 months.

Now can you suggest when I can take credit of Service tax paid on Reverse Charge.
1. Whether in the month of October, 2012, where my liability arises & I have the paid the tax with Interest. Or
2. In the Month of February, 2013 in which I have paid the Actual Tax.
