Calculation of service tax liability

Since he has started providing taxable service from feb 09......then from your question it is clear that the person is a small service provider for the year 08-09.

Now for registration :-Registration becomes compulsory when taxable service has been provided for 9 or more than 9 lacs.if taxable service has been reached to 9 lacs then within 1 month he must apply for ST registration.Since from your question it is also clear that the person has provided less 9 lacs of service.

How ever if has collected ST seprately in the bill from his client then he has to pay the service tax to the credit of Central gaverment by instant registration.

since he is individual he has to pay quarterly payment that and for that due date is 31st march.

Now he required to pay quarterly payment there fore he can adjust his cenvat credit from the entire amount. i.e he will pay only Rs 11000 +13% on 110000 for the delay from 1st april to the date of payment

Hope it is clear........if not plz inform

Agree with Raza`s view.

Just would add that you need not pay any penalty though its prescribed by statute

Thanks for the input but the situation is that the service provider is a registered society, (required to pay ST monthly) and secondly in monetary terms not a small provider, since the collection in the month of Feb itself exceeded Rs. 9 lakhs. In that case what would be scenario. (The figures quoted in the initial query are just for illustration purposes, the actual figures are in lakhs)

And also can he claim the exemption of initial Rs. 10 lakhs as applicable in first year of service and pay ST on the balance payments received.

The ST payable for feb wouldbe 25k+ interest. And for march 14k credit could be carried forward. No penalty

Shruti,

(1.) You can avail the basic exemption of Rs.10 lacs as your crossing that mark for the first time.

(2) For feb u need to tax on amount above 10 lacs and add interest to it

(3) For march u need not pay anything and carry forward the excess credit

Hope that would help

Thanks Madhukar and Varun
