Service tax payment

124 views 2 replies
Hi, If services are availed in Financial year 2015-16 and service amount is paid within financial year 2015-16 but service tax is deposited on 24.04.2016 under reverse charge along with interest i.e. after 31.03.2016. Is it possible to show such service tax payment and claim its credit in service tax return filed on 25.04.2016 for half year i.e. October 2015- march 2016. As service tax is paid after the financial year.

Yes you can

No , since the date of payment of challan will be 25.04.2016.

Service tax paid under reverse charge basis will be available as credit on the basis of duty paying document. Since duty paying document is of April 2016, service provider can claim the credit on the basis such duty paying document against the liability of April-2016 or of quarter of April-June 2016.
