Service tax return

Hi All,

This is regarding the ST-3 return. Since the service tax rate has been changed, i wanted to know that do i need to show the differential service tax liability amount pertaining to March 2015 Income provision which i already had shown in the ST-3 return for the period Oct 2014 - Mar 2015.

For example,

I made the Income provision of Rs.100000/- and paid the service tax @ 12.36% of Rs.12360/- accordingly on 31.03.15.

Now i raised the actual Income invoice to the vendor in the month of july 2015 of Rs.100000/- and charged service tax @ 14% on that. Since i paid the service tax @ 12.36% on Rs.100000/- on 31.03.15, hence i paid the differential service tax amount of Rs.1640/- in the month of july 2015.

There is no income reflected in the profit and loss account. Because it was a provision of March 2015. But there was a additional Service tax which i had paid.

So, do i need to show this additional amount in ST-3 return for the period Apr-Sep 2015.if yes, then please suggest me that where and how do i need to show the figures.

Many thanks in advance

Shib

I agree with Mr. Rama Chary

All Experts,

I am also facing the same problem, I have received advance amount in March 2015 on which Service Tax @ 12.36% is collected and remitted to Government. The party is issued with a Advance Receipt Cum Challan. 

The service against this advance was provided in June 2015, also the invoice was issued in June 2015. Hence the differential Service Tax @ 1.64% (14 - 12.36) was collected and remitted to Government.

While filing ST 3 where can I incorporate this information? Kindly advice, Thanks 

Sir,

Here I attach a web article which clearly narrates the situation. I am facing the same situation. I mailed and phoned to ACES helpdesk, but they are not giving a proper solution, If anyone has any possible solution for this issue, kindly share. Thanks.
