12 November 2011 Prof fees for
Fin Year
2008 -09 7 lakh below exemption
2009-10 9.4 lakh also below exemption
2010 - 11 14 lakh

Out of the 14 lakh fees, service tax charged on 9 lakh and paid to the treasury.

Query : whether service tax has to be paid on 4 lakh only or on 14 lakh, since the limit has been crossed in fin. year 2010 -11.

But since the assessee has collected tax on 9 lakh, the service tax on 9 lakh to be paid.

or whether service tax is to be paid on the entire 14 lakh.

12 November 2011 As per NN 06/2005 dated 01.03.2005 last amended by NN 08/2005 dated 01.03.2008, you are not required to pay service tax on initial receipt upto rs. 10 lac. Therefore, you are required to pay service tax on rs 4 lac only.

However as per Section 73A of Finance Act 1994, if the assessee collect any amount in excess of what is actually required to be collected. In that case assessee is required to deposit the excess amount of service tax to the CG immediately.

In your case you are required to deposit service tax on rs 9 lac.
