Service Tax (Legacy) 601 views 6 replies
my firm is paying service tax on receipt basis. Now there is a change in service tax w.r.f.01/06/16 from 14.5 to 15%. So in case where invoice is issued before 01/06/16 but payment received after 01/06/16 service tax to be paid @ 14.5% or 15%

As per Point of Taxation Rule,2011
1) In case service provided before change in effective rate:
Invoice prior to change but payment received after change in effective rate then point of Taxation Shall be Date of Invoice.

2) If service provided after change in effective rate:
If Invoice is issued prior to change of tax rate but payment aft change in effective rate then Point of Taxation Shall be Date of Payment.

Hope your query fall in one of the above conditions..

Small service provider i.e. upto turnover 50 lacs has option to pay service tax on receipt basis. so i think other rules of pot are irrelevant upto 50 lacs.

Kindly read rule 5 of POTR. Rule 5 is against the law and as per Rule 5 KKC on your case is payable but as per law KKC on your case is not payable

Above Rule 5 is for service provider but for service receipnt Rule 7 is aplicable. As per Rule 7 date of payment will be point of taxation and if no payment done on or before 31st may 2016 KKC is payable.

Issueing of Invoice & Payment received whichever is Earlier.
