I am about to renew my Vehicle Insurance policy due in 1st week of June. The Premium breakup shows Service Tax is charged at the rate of 14%. As per Rule 4 of Point of Taxation Rules, if I make the payment in May itself, am I not liable for just 12.36% instead of 14%? Point of Taxation will be Date of Invoice or Date of Payment whichever earlier right i.e. May and not June. Please Advice. Thank you.

experts, i have a querry that; when person has paid service tax under reverse charge then a person will be eligible to claim such amt. as cenvat................but if such person is not in position to utilize such cenvat either due to reason ''he is not dealing in activity resulting in levy of excise or service tax....or due to any other reason,''''.......then whether such amt paid in reverse charge will also become cost of service or any refund will be available or ........whether any other solution available.....???????

I have issued the advance bill in the month of March 2015 for the period from 01-04-2015 to 31-03-2016. In this bill, I have applied 12.36%. This bill is outstanding upto 31-05-2015. In this regard I have some doubts about collection of difference of service tax from customer. 1)whether I have to collect difference of Service tax from 01-06-2015 or 01-04-2015.
