I had this query in Service Tax. From July 2011, ST is to be charged on accrual basis so that means once the Bill is raised, ST Liability arises. My query is what if lets say in a future date, say August 10th, the invoice is cancelled. What is the correct accounting entry to be passed in this case. The ST amount for this bill has already been paid. How do we get such amount from the Department back?
If the invoice is cancelled the you have to reverse the entry you recorded while entering the invoice in the books. And by cancelling the invoice you can show the same in ST return and claim refund accordingly.
