20 October 2009 Q. whether Online filing of service tax return is mandatory for every entity?

Manish Soni (Expert)
20 October 2009 E-filing of return - The service tax return can be filed electronically after logging into the website www.servicetaxefiling.com. For this purpose, the assessee shall obtain user-ID and log-in password from the department. A simple application may be made to the jurisdictional Central Excise Officer, giving details of STC No., and an ‘e-mail ID’. The department would communicate the ‘User ID’, and ‘password’ along with technical details required for accessing the relevant site and the procedure for making entries and other guidance as may be necessary to the taxpayer by e-mail. While filing the return electronically, the service taxpayer must file details as contained in Form ST-3 and that of duty paying challans. On submission of the completed return, a key number and an acknowledgement would be generated by the system along with a copy of Form ST-3 and Challan, which could be printed by the service taxpayer for his records. In case of any difficulty faced in e-filing, the service taxpayer may send an e-mail to the address specified by the Commissioner, explaining the difficulties and if a reply is not received within two days, he may send an e-mail to saps@excise.nic.in

ITS NOT MANDATORY

20 October 2009 It has been made mandatory, where ever, the ACES has been rolled out.

Unfortunately, this has been done with out prior notice.

21 October 2009 mandatory if turnover exceeds 50 lac
