31 January 2014 Hello all,
we have paid our service tax upto Dec 12 under VCES. But we have not paid the service tax from jan 13 to dec 13.Now we decided to pay service tax for the month jan 2014 within the due date. Please tell me whether we should include 2013 service tax with Jan 2014. Is there any penalty for that & can we take the input credit for 2013 service tax.
Thank You.

31 January 2014 Dear Sir / Madam

Please pay Service Tax for Jan-March 2013 separate challan. For Apr-Sept 2013 one challan (for filing ST-3 purpose) and Oct-Dec 2013 another challan alongwith interest for the respective periods. However, for filing the ST-3 return for Apr-Sept 2013, you have to pay penalty also. Hope the details will meet your requirements.

24 July 2025 Yes, in principle, CENVAT credit (input service tax credit) can be availed on inputs and input services relating to 2013, provided:

The credit is eligible as per the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004.
The input services were received and accounted for in the books.
The invoices are available and not time-barred.
