16 July 2013 Dear Varun, Payment of Service Tax refers to discharging of your obligation pertaining to Service Tax whereas in case of filing of Return of Service Tax, you are not suppose to pay any amount. You are just suppose to give the half yearly information pertaining to the Service tax paid by you through cash, PLA and by utilizing Cenvat Credit.
