As we know service tax is paid only when consideration for service is received. if no consideration is received no service tax liability arises.

At the time of billing we credit service tax account and provide service tax liability in the books of account whereas there is no service tax liability arises at the time of billing.

Please suggest proper accouting treatment of service tax so that liability can be created in the books of account only when it actually arises.

Sir,
Pls correct me if I am wrong,
1.Service tax is excempted upto 10 lakhs of taxable services but can't avail CENVAT credit.
2.Any time during the year if taxble services exceeds ten lakhs, service tax is applicable on the balance exceeding 10 lakhs.

Thanks & Regards,
