05 April 2012 Please tell me that if advance is taken for performance of some services and service tax is collected @ 10% during F/Y 2011-12 and deposit the same and services are invoiced during F/Y 2012-13(inclusive of service tax)@ 12% as applicable which results in loss of revenue 2%.

My query is- is there is any clarification for it in the upcoming and amended Service Tax Rules.

05 April 2012 If you have provided service before 01/04/2012 then erlier rate of 10.30% will be charged.
In that case invoice date is not important.

05 April 2012 But budget is passed in parliament on 16th march, and rate was announced to be changed to 12.36% then how come you have not collected extra amount??
You could have collected extra amount before providing services easily.
