Your procedure working out service tax on receipts and billing is fine. As per the Central Board of Excise and Customs, bad debts are not allowed as deduction from service tax. The service tax department has clarified that if the amount of invoice is renegotiated due to deficient provision of service or due to terms of the contract (for example contingent on the happening or non-happening of a future event), the tax will be payable on the revised amount. This is subject to the excess amount either refunded or a suitable credit note issued to the service receiver. However, concession is not available for bad debts.

dear sir, please guide if i received amount from party in or after F/Y- 2011-12, which was related to or before F/Y- 2010-11 then i need to deposited service tax on receipts basis instead of billing. please suggest me correct way if am wrong in this regards.
we field service tax return within time but figure was submitted by us wrongly and 90 days has gone away to revised the return. So in this regard issue of demand may raised. so pls suggest me the right way to ignore such type of litigation/ demand.

Revised return of service tax can not filed after 90 days as per rule 7B also one thing is need to be noted that once we revised return within 90 days after we could not revised the same second time and to avoid any dispute in future, one letter addressed to dept for the correction submit to the dept.
