Our service tax return has to be filed six-monthly. We collect service tax on say 10 to 15 invoices every month. The total collection of service tax may be in the range of say Rs.40,000 per month.

Question 1

When are we required to pay the collected tax to the department? Is it every month or every six months, before we file the return?

Question 2

Which website can we pay the servce tax?

Question 3

How much does a service tax consultant charge for filing returns?

Sincerely,

Kunal
