Dear Sir/Mam,

In the Service Tax Return ST-3 For the period Oct 12 to Mar 13, Declaration is given in the last page as "I/We have paid duty within the stipulated time and in case of delay, we have deposited the interest thereon". Ticking this statement is mendatory for filing return. Without ticking this XML file can not be generated.

I wanted to know, if the assessee has not paid the service tax till the date of filing return & therefore want to show as Service Tax payable in the return. Whether he still need to tick the above statement in the Declaration in ST-3 & file return???

In short whether assessee can file return without payment of Service Tax before filing return and show as Service Tax Payable in the return????

Thank you

Is service tax applicable to the assessee who does the activity of plotting & selling the plot of land with amenities like clubhouse, garden. Assessee is not constructing the house. it just does the activity of plotting for the land owned by the assessee and then sell the plot of land with amenities as mentioned above.

Sir,

An assessee is engaged in providing Taxable Services since past including Restaurant Service (With AC Facility only) which has become taxable from 01.04.2013.

Upto 31.03.2013 the value of other taxable service (excluding Restaurant Service as it is taxable from 01.04.13, in this case) is below 10.0 Lacs. As such the assesse did not take registration.

But with restaurant service in tax bracket it has applied for Registration & is thinking to Opt for SSI Exemption.

But The Department has informed that for SSI Computation, the value of taxable service provided in 2012-2013 ""INCLUDING RESTAURANT SERVICE"" shall be counted. But sir since the service was exempted in the F.Y. 2012-13, HOW CAN THE SAME BE INCLUDED FOR SSI COMPUTATION??

Please enlighten/advice with any reference to case study/notifications/circulars..

Thanks in Advance
