Hi,

I have taken Service registration no. last year in June. I also filed ST3 for April'14-Sep14 and the income was zero then. But in the month of March2015, there was income of Rs. 20K on which i raised an invoice without charging any service tax. Do i need to fill ST3. If yes, please tell me which column should i fill in?

Also let me know if i dnt file it today as it is last date for filing, will i be fined?

Pls help to understand.

Thanks & Regards,

Harjeet

In your case, penalty for late filing will be Rs. 500 up to 10 May'15 then after it increases upto maximum of Rs. 20K.

Since, you have no service tax liability. You may skip paying penalty amount for delay return filing. Then, at the time of assessment in future, you'll have to convince Excise officer that there was sufficient reason for delay.
