04 August 2011 I want to file service tax return for earlier years. My client has paid all the service tax properly in due time but due to some unavoidable circumstances it fails to submit return properly. Hence the return from october 2009 has became due. Now my question is that can I file those returns online by not paying the late fee?Should the system will accept it? If not then provide me the rate of late fee rate as early as possible.
