25 OCT FOR SEP

25th Oct is the last date for filing of service tax return for the period Apr'11-Sept'11.

We cant tell about this right now. we have to wait for some official announcement but as e-payment is mandatory from now on there should not be much problem if there is no bank holiday

E-payment is mandatory only for assesses who has paid service tax in excess of Rs 10 lacs in previous financial year.

It is to be deposited by the 5th  day of the month following the month or quarter for which service tax is paid. However, for the month/quarter ending March, the payment is required to be made by the 31st March itself by all taxpayers

And Date Of Filling Return Upto 25th oct

See recent notification of Service Tax dept. Epayment of service tax and efilling is mandatory from 1st october for all the assesses.

I think its notification no. 43/2011

Agreed with ashish gupta

Notification no 43/2011 dated 25.08.2011 states " Every assessee shall submit the half-yearly return electronically”.

As per notification no 43/2011 it is mandatory to e-file service tax return but nowhere it is stated that payment  has to be made electronically.

agreed with ashish          

yes nirav you are right. I was mistaken. that notification is only about e-filling of service tax return

@ Nirav .Read Notification carefully amended and proviso is deleted now and den interprete it.

If the last date for paying tax is a public holiday, tax may be paid on the next working day - Circular 63/12/2003 dated 14/10/2003.

The State Government of West Bengal has decided to declare 5th October and 6th October to be Public Holiday during the year 2011 under N.I. Act..
