Taxes which were supposed to be paid under Service tax were paid under Gst

If any taxable service which belonged to F.Y 2017-18 under service tax act, tax on the same were not paid and same taxes are paid under GST act in next financial year in F.Y 2018-19 by raising invoice.
What can be done in this case to avoid the claim under service tax as such services were supplied in 2017-18.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common tax issue where service tax liabilities from FY 2017-18 were mistakenly paid under the GST regime in FY 2018-19. Unfortunately, services cannot be reclassified like this, meaning the supply is now counted in both periods. The business will likely need to pay the outstanding service tax amount separately to avoid claims.

You cannot adjust the taxable service like that.
Which means the supply would now be part of Sales for both the year. And the business will have to pay in the amount of tax due under service tax.
