Dear Experts ,
Gm.

One of my client is Advertising agency.
Gross Receipt in FY 2011-12 - Rs. 40 lacs
During FY 11-12 Rs. 3 lacs debtors were there. Service Tax on same is paid on Accrual Basis (i.e. paid in FY 11-12 itself).

Now as per amendment my client is again eligible for Payment of service Tax on RECEIPT BASIS (As Gross recpt in previous year is less than 50 lakhs ).

My Query :
Bill Raised during April - June 12 - Rs.10 lakhs
Amount Received during April - June 12 - Rs. 3 lakhs (Totally against o/s balance of debtors as on 31/03/2012.) Not a single penny recd. against current year bill.

Now do i require to file the return of ST for these period?
If yes how to show these transaction?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Members,

While filing ST-3 returns for our client, we claimed SSI abatement of Rs.10,00,000 under notification no.006/2005 by clicking on the option as given in the drop down list on the first page of the ST-3 online retrun.
However,while claiming the said abatement amount, the return is not processing further stating the error as " If no abatement number is selected then, no abatement amount should be claimed".
What should be done?

Dear Sir/Madam,

One of our vendor have charged Service tax on 8.652% on 33%of base value and TN VAT 14.5% on 67% of base value of services i., AMC on Air Conditioners Services. When asked, he said there was an notification to charge on such basis.
Could you please confirm, it is right charging both Service Tax and TN VAT at the above mentioned proportion on the total value? If so, could you please share the notification or relevant rules indicating the same.I’m waiting for your valuable reply.
