If the entire amount is exempted then what should be the treatment of the Service Tax of Rs. 12360 collected in 2007-08 for which the service user has or might have already taken cenvat credit. I think the provider of service in such case has to return the service the tax amount of Rs 12360 so collected from his service recipent and the receipent has to reverse the cenvat credit if already taken. |

The exemption for the current year is Rs.10 lakhs. Pr yr since billed and collected ST the same is reqd to be paid as others receipts with a disclosure that the same pertains to pr yr. This year once the collections excluding the one where ST collected reaches Rs.10 lakhs the ST wouldbe reqd to be paid.
Factually you seem to be correct but according to the Explanation (B) to the Notification No. 6/2005-ST dated 1-3-2005 the expression "aggregate value not exceeding 10 Lakh of Rupees" means the sum total of first consecutive payments received during a financial year towards the Gross amount charged towards taxable services till the aggregate amount of such payments , is equal to Rs. 10 lakh. It means for the financial year 2008-09 , payments received on or after 01-04-2008 will be the starting point , even if payment relate to services provoded before 1-4-2008 , it will form part of the aggregate value not exceeding Rs. 4 lakh.( Reference S.S.Gupta ).
