Hello experts,
One of my client got service tax regd. in aug 2014. He should file return on 25 act 2014. however he file the same on 7 january 2015. So penalty will be Rs. 5400/-
Now what he has to do
> Only pay penalty or he has to revise the return
one more thing he filed the NIL return so whether penalty will be payable on nil return also.
Please suggest me...

No penalty for late filing of Nil return. Citation: M/s SUCHAK MARKETING PVT LTD VERSUS COMMISSIONER OF SERVICE TAX, KOLKATA (2013 (6) TMI 641 - CESTAT KOLKATA) Penalty for late filing of Nil return - Held that:- in view of the Boards Circular No.97/8/07-ST dated 23.08.2007, in the event, no service is rendered by the service provider, there is no requirement to file ST-3 Returns. - there is nothing contrary to that circular - as per Rule 7C of the Service Tax Rules, in the event, nil returns are filed, the assessing officer had the discretion to waive the late fees for filing the ST-3 Returns. In my view, it is a fit case to invoke the proviso to Rule 7C and waive the late fees relating to the nil returns filed by the appellant during the period April, 2005 to March, 2008. - Penalty dropped.

Then pay the penalty and show the said challan in the return.
Remember Service Tax Return can be revised only once within 90 days of filing of original return.
