Service tax query

On account of Section 73(A) service tax charged from the customer where the same was not required to be collected must be deposited to the Government.

Further, service tax Small service provider notification no 33/2012 provides that once the assessee has chosen the option of not availing the baisc exemption, he cannot reverse such option. Thus, the amount once charged, must be charged for teh entire year and paid to teh Governement.

Further, where a person's turnover does not exceed R.s 9 lakh, he is not required to take registration, unless service is under reverse charge. Accordingly, the assessee could have avoided the whole situation by not taking registration in teh first place. 

Hi,

my company has a service tax registration no. Em002. During the month of October while making the service tax payment through net banking the registration code was wrongly mentioned as em001. (With other digits and letters kept same)This code also was allotted to our company only as it shows in the departments website when searched online. The amount of payment is appr Rs.63 lacs. Now department claims that the payment is not credited to your account. We submitted a reply stating that the amount which is credited to the other account may kindly be appropriated to our account. Because the other registration no. Also shows our company name only. Now they have given one reply stating that they do not have any mechanism to appropriate and we have to pay the pending amt and take refund of what is paid to wrong account. Can any one pls advise about the provisions pertaining the same. How can such huge amt be additionally arranged. Pls throw light on the Same.
