Hi,

one company had deposited the service tax on GTA Services for the period of April 09- sept 09 @ 3.09%(12.36-75% OF12.36%) as service receiver. But as per the amendment, From 25th Feb,2009 service tax rate is reduced to 10.30%. Hence the service tax to be paid on GTA services is 2.575% (10.30%-75%of 10.30%).

At the time of filing the return For the first half of 09-10, an intimation letter was given to department for set of excess payment of service tax i.e. (3.09%-2.575%) in the next half. But department denied to give the credit or set off of excess service tax paid. They replied that "Once you deposited the money @ 3.09% it cannot adjusted for 2.575%. And hence you cannot take the credit thereof"
