Hi
Liability of payment of service tax arises on payment basis and not on due basis.
Hence in both the cases i.e., (actual payment agt. bill & advance payment) you need to pay the service tax in the following month upto 5th after making the payment.

Hi
You can adjust the balance payment of service tax i.e., 10.3% of Rs 10000/- agt. service tax payable agt. other bills for the same period.

its all accounting clarity
if u keep the payment in "advance to suppliers" then no tax liability unless the invoice is submitted and journal entry is made from advance account to service provider's account,
but
if u keep the payment posted as "freight or carrige" on the date of payment, then u have to take invoice for full consideration either in one or in parts, otherwise ur accounts will not be completed.
service tax liablity is on payment under GTA head only,

Hi Yogesh
Service tax needs to be paid agt. advance payment received agt. services, as liability of service tax payment is on receipt basis and your liability arises as soon as you receive the payment.

Kindly Solve my problem... We have paid Rs.30 lacs to our transporter as advance for transportation charges. And did agreement with them to deduct the amount of advance in every month in 5 equal installments from their monthly bills.
Say, if in any month transporter raised bill to us Rs.15 lacs, then we deduct Rs.6 lacs from their bill and paid the balance amount. So, what will be the tax implication on that. How will we pay the GTA Service Tax ?
We paid the advance in October 2014.
Please advice on urgent basis.
Waiting for prompt reply please.
