St3 return with mismatch figures

610 views 5 replies

Hi,

How should the service tax paid amounts actually shown in the ST3 return? All the ST amount paid in a particular month should be shown in that particular month column or amount paid related to the invoices in that month?

I mean if service tax for the invoices raised in Sept is paid in October then in the April-Sept return, should the ST paid in Oct be shown to tally the Paid and Payable figures or it should be shown only in next return?

Please guide.

Tax paid till the filing of ST-3 return should be reflected in the  same return. 

Thank you for the information.

Means do i need to quote that October payment amount in September column in the return?

Is it an issue if the return is submitted without equally the ST Paid and ST Payable amount?

yes. If the payment is in excess of payable, no problem. If short payment, a warning message will appear and you may contine with short payment which you may pay as arrears in the next return.

hello sir,

in general september month service tax amount paid in october, which you can show the same in challan service page in service tax excel utility.

payments relating to return period should reflect in same return.

Yes, september month payment is due on 06th October, so normally paid in october and reflected in the same return. What if the payment is not made till the date of filing of return?  What is the relevance of Row G1 in ST-3 Excel Utility?
