I have the following queriy w.r.t Service Tax:

Service Tax is payable on receipt basis. Say:

Amount (Rs) 100
Add: Service Tax(say) 12
Total Invoice 112
Less: TDS deducted(say) 10
Bank Receipt 102


In the above example, how much service tax should be remitted & when?
Like should the Company remit full service tax on receipt of Rs 102/- or else proportionately on the receipt of the Rs102/- & balance on receipt of TDS Certificate. I was basically worried as TDS certificates are received later.

Kindly provide your views(Please refer notifications/case if any)

Thanks & Regards
Ari

Sir,

One of the invoiceing requirements in Service Tax is that invoice should be raised not later than 14days from the date of completion of service/receipt of money, whichever is earlier.

Now my query is what "what are the implications if an Indian company does raise invoice lately (after 14days)".


Thanks & Regards
Arihanth
