25 October 2015 The provisions of Point of Taxation Rules,2011 are very clear as to pay service tax on issuing invoice. In case the invoice is not issued with in 30 days, the liability shall arise on the date of completion of service. Though advance is received prior to invoice or completion of service,then it would be point of taxation. in such situation, the payment of service tax can not be delayed only for the reason of not receiving service amount.
