Service Tax Payment procedure

if you are liable to charge service tax from party but inadvertently you not charge in your bill and party give you payment without service tax, still it is ur duty to pay service tax to govt. by presuming that amount is inclusive of service tax.

When the amount is collected against provision of Taxable service,total amount recd should be treated as inclusive of taxdue to be paid by the consumer of service unless service tax is also paid by the customer seperately. So In case where customer do not pay service tax, you can traet amount received as inclusive of tax and adopt backward working. Refer sub section (2) of section67.

my question is

bill amount  = 100

+service tax = 20

Total   =     120, so party has paid only 100 rs not 120

i want to know whether its our liablity to pay service tax of rs 20 or not . i want any circular or notice

Ok . consider this illustration.

You have charged Rs.100 for your service. In your Bill, you will charge service tax @ 10.30%, say rs.10.30.

Now since your client has paid you Rs.100 and not paid service tax. Consideration received Rs.100 is considered to be inclusive of service tax.

Therefore, you will be required to pay service tax  using following formula:

Service Tax payable= (amount recd*Rate of S.T)/ (100+rate of ST)

You will be liable to pay Rs.9.33.

This has been provided in Section 67(2) (in valuation rules )itself.

yes of course, it is the duty of the provider of output services, to pay, to the credit f central government ,the amount service tax chargeable on the invoice amount, whether or not such sum has been recieved by the said provider.
