08 October 2011 Notification No.25/2011 – Service Tax

Service tax is due when installment is due or received whichever is earlier.

In case of Real Estate firms, when the firm receives the instrallment from customer or installment is due whichever is earlier is point of taxation.

U consider the accounting policy of firm. When the agreement is taken place, when the possession is given to customer.

Payment received before 01-04-2011, service tax should be paid as per earlier provisions i.e on receipt basis.

08 October 2011 In our firm, we book sale at the time of agreement i.e.at the time of receipt the amount of 10% by customer. At that time we record service tax liability.

08 October 2011 Billed before 1.4.11 and payment received after 01.04.11, then the liability is on receipt of the amount.

Payment Received before 01.04.11 and billed after 01.04.11, then the liability is on receipt of the amount
