28 October 2012 Hey Hi,

1. Service Tax paid / Cr A/c is for Service Tax paid by client why receiving services.

2. Service Tax Payable is Exp A/c which need to be debited agst Income A/c in same proportion.

3. Service Tax Payable is Liability A/c. Ser Tax liability or Payable amount is recorded here while raising invoices for Services Provided.

4. Service Tax A/c is Income A/c which is hit side by side while booking ST Exp.

When Booking for Invoice agst Services Received Service Tax paid A/c is credited entry is..

Expenses Dr. 100
Service Tax Cr A/c 12.36
....To Creditors....112.36

You can utilise credit in this A/c for Payment of ST.

2. When Invoice is Raised for services provided..

Dr A/c Dr. 112.36
...To Income A/c...100
...To Service Tax Payable A/c...12.36

Also JV to be recorded for Inome & Exp A/c as per AS

Service Tax EXP A/c 12.36
...To Service Tax A/c 12.36

While making Payment of Service Tax...

Service Tax Payable A/c 12.36
.. To Bank A/c 12.36

or when adjusted from Credit A/c

Service Tax Payable A/c 12.36
.. To Service Tax paid / Cr A/c 12.36
