28 April 2012 With effect from April 1 2011, Rule 9 of the Point of Taxation Rules has been amended to provided that services for which provision is completed on or before June 30, 2011 or where the invoices are issued up to June 30, 2011, the point of taxation shall, at the option of the taxpayer, be the date on which the payment is received or made as the case may be. The intention is to give an option to the assessee to come into point of taxation from April 1, 2011 or July 1, 2011. Based on this amendment the assesse can continue to pay service tax on payment basis till June 30, 2011.
