12 March 2016 Service tax is payable by the service provider on completion of the service, issue of invoice or receipt of money whichever is earlier. In case of professionals, if the turnover is below Rs.50 lakhs then the service tax is paid on receipt basis, else it on issue of invoice. Assuming your auditor has a turnover exceeding Rs.50 lakhs, he has already deposited the full Rs.14,500 payable to the government. as far as you are concerned you pay Rs.57,250/- less TDS to the auditor and enclose the cheque with a covering letter giving the details of fees, TDS and Service Tax Paid.
