Hi Everybody.

One of our client is providing design services. the services are exported outside india. In India, it is providing service to only one recipient , the service tax on which is small amount.

1. The issue is prior to 2007, it was rendering call centre services which is exempt from payment of service tax as per notification no. 8/2003. The client was not aware of this and was paying service tax on the same. What can we do with respect to this?
Can we claim refund/ rebate of the service tax amount paid on call centre prior to 2007? OR can it be carried forward?

2. Currently, the company has got huge input credit every year and its carrying forward the input credit from several years. The service tax liability of the company is negligible around in 000s where as the input credit is in lakhs. Cant we claim refund/ rebate of this amount as the case may be?

What is the rate of interest on late payment of service tax, pl. quote relevant section.

a company has paid service tax in regular course of bussiness as service provider however in a few cases it has also paid service tax upon reverse charge as a service reciever of imported services.

the question here arises is that havinf paid the service tax as a service provider as well as a service reciever,is it required to file seperate return or will one return is sufficent ?

Hello Freinds

In our case we had been paying Full Service Tax since 2007-08, without claiming any input credit of service tax and also not showed it in the return filed.

Now, on scrutiny we reveal this mistake. So, what remedial measures we can take while filing return of 2008-09.

Which perioud credit can we claim in this return.

Whether we have to file a revised return and if so then upto what perioud a revised return can be filed.

Thanks in anticipation
