Dear friends, kindly correct me the service provider has already collected 90000 fees from students in which he has already collected ST of 10.3% then my question if he has already collected ST from students then how can he retain the ST , he needs to pay the ST to govt.
Then howcome is the 10 lakhs exemption limit in force? we are conducting a course and collecting service tax from students, our income is not even 5 lakhs ,but in course fee we mention that we collect ST , so are we liable to pay govt the service tax collected from course fees or we can keep the ST with us until we cross 10 lakhs. Kindly clarfiy i feel once you collect ST you need to deposit it , irrespective of whether your limit crosses or not, because whenever you collect tax from someone you are not supposed to keep it with you , you are liable to pay to govt. kindly advise and correct me if wrong.
