Hi

FA 2011 has amended Section 70 to increase maximum penalty for late filing of ST return from 2,000 to 20,000. FA 2011 has been made effective from 1st may 2011.

Now my query is whether it will be applicable for filing return of FY 2010-11 also or for F.Y. 2011-12 onwards.

In my view it should be applicable for FY 2010-11 also.

Look forward for Experts view.

Dear Sir,

We are into servicing of UPS. The customers send the UPS by courier at their own cost.

We send back the UPS to the customer after servicing at our cost.

We get monthly bill from courier agency for the courier sent. We are taking credit of service tax mentioned in the bill.

Is it correct to take credit?

Dear All

whether service tax return originally filed can be revised after 90 days?

Since the company has filed the service tax return for first half of the FY 2008-09 in the month of march 2009; can return of first half be revised now and whether second half of fy2008-09 return can be filed now alongwith revision of first half of the same financial year?

will service tax deptt accept the service tax return of first half of fy 2008-09 and second half also?
if yes, what are the consequences? and if not, what is the way out to file the same?

further more, the company has not filed the service tax return for the fy 2009-10 also, can that also be filed?

Very Urgent
