A friend of mine is working in a sole proprietorship firm.
His proprietor is a Service Tax Assessee.
The proprietor has collected from his clients, service tax amount of Rs.6.29 Lacs for FYE 31.03.10 and Rs.11.03 Lacs for FYE 31.03.11.
For FYE 31.03.10, the service tax amount is less than Rs.10 Lacs, hence, he is not covered under E-filing of Form ST-3.
Query
For FYE 31.03.11, the service tax amount is above Rs.10 Lacs. But, it seems the proprietor filed Manual Form ST-3 and department also did not notice or refuse or prompt him for E-filing. Please advise me whether the manual filing done by the proprietor for FYE 31.03.11 is in order.
Ans : ……………..
What will be the impact, if the department notices the manual filing of Form ST-3.
