Format of source document no. in service tax return ?

4A(I)(a)(iii) Rule 6(3) allows adjustment of such service tax amount which was paid earlier in

respect of taxable service not provided wholly or partially by the service provider

Example : A service provider receives an advance of Rs.1000 on which he pays a

service tax of Rs.120.

However, later on he does not provide this service and refunds the amount to

person from whom the advance was received. He can in this case adjust the

amount of Rs.120 in any of his future liability of service tax.

4A(I)(a)(iv) Rule 6(4A) allows adjustment of such service tax amount paid in preceding

months or quarter, which is in excess of the service tax liability for such month or

quarter

Example : A service provider having centralized registration pays an amount of

Rs.1000 as service tax for services provided by him from his five branches.

However, on receipt of information from these branches, the service tax liability is

computed as Rs.900. In this case, he ahs paid an excess amount of Rs.100 as

service tax. He can adjust this excess amount of Rs.100 against service tax

liability for succeeding month/quarter.
