15 April 2010 The electronic payment option for payment of service tax was available only to those who had paid a service tax of Rs 50 lakh or more including utilisation of Cenvat credit. Now , the Central Board of Excise and Customes has made electronic payment of service tax compulsory from April 1, 2010, vide notification No.1/2010, for those who have in 2009-2010 paid a total service tax of Rs 10 lakh or more, including the amount paid by utilisation of Cenvat credit.

Apart from this , the service provider who pays the service tax online will also have to file the half-yearly service tax return electronically through the ACES (Automation of Central Excise And Service Tax) platform from April 1.
