07 January 2011 Basic things regarding entries are as follows-
1. Service Tax Input Credit

Expenses account(Basic Amount)
Service Tax Recoverable A/c Dr
Ed.Cess on Service Tax Recoverable Dr
S&H Ed. Cess on Service Tax Rec. Dr

To Vendor account

Service Tax Payable-

Debtors Account dr

TO Income account
to Service Tax Payable
To Edu. Cess Payable
to S&H Cess Payable

Further this service tax payable can be paid either in cash/bank or by utilising service tax credit in first entry in the following manner

Service tax payable account dr

to cash/bank/service tax recoverable

2. In case of CST we can not claim credit
and practically included in the cost of goods purchased

In case of sale of goods to other state
CST payable is credited and remain as a liability in the books until payment.

3. Vat Input account is debited on purchase of goods from Registered dealer i.e Goods account dr
Vat Input account dr
to Vendor

and Vat Payable is credited on supply of goods to dealer in same state.

and same can be adjusted from Vat Input credit account .

I hope the query is resolved now.
