It is not correct as the liability to pay service tax as recipient of service is at the time of payment and not at the time of booking an invoice.

you are entitiled to take service tax credit on the transcations.

Yes, you are entitled to take the credit of the same if it not specifically related to an exempt service or an exempt product.

Dear Mr.Ajit

Can you pleas explaim me what is correct booking entry on Import services ..

Related Exp---Dr To, Party A/c At the time of making the payment Party A/c---- Dr To,Bank Service tax paid on Import---Dr To, Service tax payable

Thank Ajit

But one more quiestion, "Service tax paid on import" this account will be under "Duties & Taxes" OR "Expenses"

Because in the case of Import services, service Tax will be beared by Service Receiver..

It should be an expense item. Now after discharging the liability if you find that you are eligible to take the credit, then credit the said expenditure and debit CENVAT Credit Receivable A/c.

Thaks Ajit
