24 July 2025 Sure! Here’s a quick explanation:

**Service tax on accrual basis / Point of Taxation Rules:**

* Before **1st April 2011**, service tax was generally payable **on receipt of payment** (i.e., when you actually get the money).

* From **1st April 2011 onwards**, due to **Notification No. 18/2011-ST dated 01/03/2011**, service tax liability is triggered **on the earlier of these two events**:

* When **invoice is issued**, or
* When **payment is received**.

This means **service tax is payable on the accrual basis** — i.e., you pay tax as soon as you raise the invoice or receive payment, whichever is earlier.

This rule is part of the **Point of Taxation Rules, 2011**, which specify the timing of when service tax becomes due, to bring uniformity and clarity.
