What is the due date for service tax return

Sir,

Return needs to be filed only if you have paid service tax as person laible to pay tax, i.e. as service provider or as service receiver u/s 68. It has nothing to do with claiming of refund.

However, whether return shall be filed or not depends upon the conditions specified in the rule/ notification under which you are claimimg ST refund.

For your information, due date for filing service tax return for Apr-Sept. 2013 was 25th Oct' 13

If you are an exporter of service, then service tax need not be paid by you since exports are exempt from payment of tax. However, return shall be filed by you, indicating therein the gross amount charged for export of service. This amount can be claimed as deduction in the subsequent fields of return. The net taxable value value for export shall be nil.
