### **Service Tax Due Date for LLPs**
It seems like thereโs a little bit of confusion around the **payment** and **filing** due dates for service tax in the case of an **LLP (Limited Liability Partnership)**. Let me clarify:
---
### **1. Service Tax Payment Due Date for LLP:**
* For an **LLP** that is **registered under Service Tax**, the payment of **service tax** is **monthly**, not quarterly.
* **Due Date for Payment**:
* **For Offline Payment**: The due date is **5th of the following month**. * **For Online Payment**: The due date is **6th of the following month**.
For example:
* **For services rendered in November 2016**, the payment due date would be:
* **5th December 2016** (if paid offline) * **6th December 2016** (if paid online)

### **2. Service Tax Return Due Date for LLP:**
* The return for service tax (in the form of **ST-3**) must be filed on a **quarterly basis**.
* **Due Dates for Filing the ST-3 Return**:
* **For the Quarter ending March 31st**: **25th April** * **For the Quarter ending June 30th**: **25th July** * **For the Quarter ending September 30th**: **25th October** * **For the Quarter ending December 31st**: **25th January**
These due dates are for filing the **Service Tax Return** (ST-3), not the payment itself.
---
### **3. Summary:**
* **Payment of Service Tax**: Due by **5th** (offline) or **6th** (online) of the **following month** after the month in which the service was provided. * **Filing the Return**: Due on **25th of the month following the quarter's end** (i.e., quarterly filing).
