As per the notification regarding the payment of service tax on accrual basis from July 2011,I need to know that, is this applicable only for new billing which will be done on or after 1st of July 2011 or for all the pending invoices which has not been paid by clients? Is service tax to be paid for all those outstanding invoices along with the new invoices in the month of July 2011? As you know we have not paid service tax on outstanding invoices reason being before July 2011 the payment of service tax was on payment basis.
