25 July 2012 1)At the time of raising of Invoice:

Debit to the party account with total amount including service tax amount and credit to the service fees account with the service fee and credit to the service tax account with the service tax amount

2) At the time of receipt of amount from the party

Debit to the cash/bank account and credit to the party account with amount received

3) At the time of payment of service tax i.e remittance to the Government

Debit to the Service tax account and credit to the cash/bank account with the amount of payment.

Let now i pass entries with an example.

Assume party is X. Service provided is IT service For Rs.10,000 + Service tax.

Now Pass the entries:

1) At the time of invoice raised

X a/c dr 11236
To IT Service a/c 10000
To Service tax a/c 1236
(Being IT service provided to the customer X and the fee charged receivable and Service tax receivable)

2) At the time of amount received from the party

Cash/Bank a/c dr 11236
To X a/c 11236

3) At the time of Service tax remitted to the Govt.

Service tax a/c dr 1236
To Cash/Bank a/c 1236

Note: Here X a/c grouped under SUNDRY DEBTORS; IT Service a/c grouped under INCOME HEAD which is creditable to the profit and loss account and Service tax a/c grouped under CURRENT LIABILITES.

Note: Here i take IT Service a/c just for your example you may tax fee collected account as you want i.e like IT service fee a/c or fees a/c or professional fees a/c etc... what may be you want for your easy understanding.
