21 July 2025 Sure! Here’s a simple explanation for you:

What is Self-Assessment in Service Tax?
Self-assessment means that you, as a taxpayer, calculate the service tax you owe on your own based on the services you have provided or received. You are responsible for:

Determining whether your service is taxable.

Calculating the correct amount of service tax payable.

Filing your service tax return and paying the tax by the due date.

The tax department does not automatically assess or decide your tax liability before you file; instead, you declare it yourself.

What is Provisional Assessment?
Provisional assessment is when the service tax authorities allow you to pay service tax on an estimated value when the exact value cannot be determined immediately. Later, once the correct value is known, the final assessment is done and adjustments are made.

This is helpful when the service value depends on future events or when the value is not immediately ascertainable.

Summary:
Self-assessment: You calculate and pay your tax yourself.

Provisional assessment: You pay tax on an estimated basis, which is finalized later by authorities.
