Service tax on back dated invoice

Queries 1217 views 3 replies

Hi..We raised an invoice for the month of  March and but did not claim service tax  amount since we had not registered by then. We later registered  and got the service tax certificate.  Should we  now claim for the service tax amount from the client and pay it  for the month of March. Pls clarify.

What is total turnover last year?

You mean "Cenvat benefit" on your input services?   You can avail the cenvat credit in this current year and there is no need to revise the march 2012 return.  You can deduct the claim in this month output tax due.  The only criteria is the input service bill should be related to output service.

 

The department has not prescribed time limit for claiming the cenvat.

If you were not registered, how come you charged service tax in the first place?
