Hi,
My firm is partnership firm and we are into providing IIT-JEE and other engineering competitive Examination coaching to 12th science students. Our Firm is 3 years old. First year we have paid service tax but did not file return. Second Year also we have income below 10 Lac so did not paid service tax and also did not file return. Our CA tried to file return Online but as first year Return has to file Manually and from second year the made is to file online, so it is not accepting by service tax system. Now this is our third year in which we are unable to file return. Can you please guide me what we can do in this case? What will be and advice from you to file return?

Hi All,


My Query :

One of my client had raised an invoice on which tax was coming out 13,29,803/- on 19/04/12.

Now due to the negotiation he canceled that invoice and raised new invoice on which service tax was 1181483/- for the same date.

Assessee had already paid service tax of 1329803 to Department before this negotiation. So now it seems that he has made access payment of 148320/-. But we are not sure about whether to consider it as advance payment of service tax or not. And if it is the case of service tax advance payment then 15 days for the intimation to Officer has already left. So what will be the next step we need to take.

Please let us know whether we can utilise this 148320/- excess payment against May month's service tax payment or not.

Facts:-

We have agreement with vendor “A” for some Computer networking Material. Agreement says, we will pay to vendor Rate of Material as per agreement & will reimburse Transportation Expenses as per actual expense.
Vendor raise a Debit note with all supporting of transportation cost & “ Charge Service Tax on Debit Note.”



We can not take credit for service tax or excise.

Vendor has confirm that they have availed abetment 75% .
Please Suggest:-


1) Is vendor can raise such service invoice even if he is not providing such transportation services & if yes, under which Head of service Tax Act.
2) Can we ask vendor to submit such debit note without any service tax as reimbursement of expenses does not attract service tax.
3) Vendor deposit both amount of service tax, i.e. collected from us & U/S 68(2) of service tax for reverse charges & not take credit of any.

how much will be my penalty if i want to file service tax return for the period 1/4/2011 to 30/9/2011? will it be calculated from actual due date i.e. 25th oct or from extended due date i.e.25th dec?

what will be the effect if rejection of ST-3 because of wrong premises code as per online e-filing.

what will be the next step.
