I think, Notification no. 32/2004 has came into force on the 1st day of January , 2005 and after amendment notification no. 13/2008 has came into force on the 1st day of March, 2008.

But after revised service tax return from April to June 12, both notification are available in selection option which one is applicable remains doubt.

Sir,

In form ST - 3, in one return i have filed 5.6% as service tax rate under partial reverse charge mechanism for works contract tax. But the return was rejected on the basis of " 5.6% rate is not a valid rate under works contract tax".

Please suggest how to proceed further.
