28 December 2010 IF a company fails to file ST3 electronically then what is the amount of penalty and when should it be paid

28 December 2010 Till 31.03.2010 There was no any such penalty for the non e filling of the ST-3. As department accepted both returns E-Filed and Manual.

After 30.09.2010 department has not accpeted any Manual return on which E-Filling is applicable Service Tax>10 Lacs

Now it is descrtion of the department that Manual Filed Return treated as Invalid or Valid.

Fine & Penalty would be on the descretion of the Authority.

29 December 2010 Pls Fill Declartion with Deaprtment for obtaining user id and password and after that E-file your Service tax Return now in Jan 2011.

If Department ask for Fine & Penalty pls request them with show casue reply and Manually Filed Return for record.

If they object more pay Rs.2000 maximum late filling fee Only.
