Service tax filing procedure

Hi,

I am a partner of an LLP and we just got our service tax registration finished and I have received my ST-2 form. I need to file the service tax return for September 2013 month; I believe the deadline is October-25, 2013. I tried to use the ACES website to file the return but got confused by the numerous forms there such as ST-3A, ST-3 etc. Can some one please help me understand the process of filing the service tax online or point me to some relevant links which have a step-by-step process?

Thanks for all the help.

Download ST -3 excel utility for Oct-Mar,2013 and Onwards returns....ST-3A is no more in the e-filling scenario....

The Excel Utility ST-3 Oct - March 13 available in the download section of ACES website (www.aces.gov.in) should be used to fill, generate XML file and Upload service tax return in Form ST-3 for the Half Year April to September, 13.

 

Please note that 'partnership firm' includes a LLP [Section 2(cd)] of Service Tax Rules, 1994. So, can pay service taxes on quarterly basis. 

Dear Friends

A party has the Service Tax Registration on date 05/09/2012 but still this is stand for cancellation. Then, he should ST-3 file for period of April 2013 to Sept. 2013.

Thanks a lot for the replies. Found the ST-3 form and filing it from the Excel Utility. I have one question though:

When I fill the service tax rate as 12 in B1.16 section, the service tax payable amount comes in paise it seems. Is this by intention? I am posting an image to show what I mean:

You are filling a wrong row at B1.16. Kindly fill tax rate at B1.15

In case of further issues, if any, i can file your return, if you so desire.
