Dear Experts,

During the FY 15-16, there was some amount to the tune of Rs. 8 lakhs to be paid towards Service tax. Due to the non payment from Creditors. We have landed with financial crunch and unable to pay the service tax till date.

Kindly clarify the consequences of this and if we have to pay now. What is the procedure of doing this since currently GST in force.

Got an email for Non Payment of Service Tax/ Central Excise duty on the earned income for the FY 2014-15. I work as an IT Consultant for a USA firm. I work remotely and get paid in Dollars(which gets converted into Indian currency). I do not have any service tax number, as I was in the impression I am not eligible to pay the tax as my client is not in India. My income is more than threshold exemption limit of Rs. 10 lakhs . Kindly guide me how should I go ahead with it. Thanks,
