Help, Very Urgent

Service tax is totally dependent on the cash basis. Input tax credit can be taken only when you paid. Credit of input service is taken only after payment is made to service provider of the amount of the bill

Output of tax after netting off the input tax credit if any is to be paid to Govt only when you realise the cash. If you receive the part payment then you need to pay to Govet only to the extent of proportinately.

I think Rule rule 6 (3) ( 1 ), of Service Tax BUT PLEASE CHECK IT

Vinay is right.

The general rule is on receipt/ payment basis. If part paid/ received that part wouldhave tobe calcuated on backward calcualtion.

For associated enterprises which have been made liable from 10.5.2008, once the same is accrued in the books ST is payable and therefore the converse of availing of credit should also be available. For credit a letter from the AE that they are paying in following month on passing entries maybe obtianed to avoid confusion later.

I treated in my accounts regarding Service Tax as under please give me suggestion with Sec/Rulu No's:

For Service Tax Input:

When i received any bill including Service Tax (Ex: 5,000), I treated that part of service tax as input for that month. ex: Jan-09

Note: I did not paid the bill amount to the party in the same month. I made the payment in the nex month.ex. Not paid in Jan-09, but paid in the month of Feb-09

For Out Put Service Tax

 If i realised Rs. 1,00,000 from my coustmer as service tax in Jan-09. I required to pay that amount in the month of Jan-09(Payment on realisation basis).  

My Caliculation is Like here:

Out put service Tax  = 1,00,000

InPut for the month =        5,000

Service Tax Liability =     95,000  

Conclusion:

1. I took input credit of Rs.5,000/- against out put service tax payable for the month Jan-09 with out pament (Taking credit on Accrual Basis)  On the basis of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004 Rule No: 4

2. I made payment of out put service tax on Realisation process

Please Advice me sir, Is my procedure is correct or not ?

With relevant Sections/Rules

Thanks and REgards

sub rule (7) of Rule 4 of CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004 reads as follows:

(7) The CENVAT credit in respect of input service shall be allowed, on or after the day which payment is made of the value of input service and the service tax paid or payable as is indicated in invoice, bill or, as the case may be, challan referred to in rule 9.  for payment of service tax sub-rule (1) of Rule 6 reads as follows: 

Thefore it is clear you can take credit only when you make payment fot Service and service tax thereon. At the same time you have to make payment on the due dates after you realise the payment for services whether after providing service or in advance.
