05 September 2012 Dear CA Club Memebers,
My Query is that while paying the Liability of Service Tax (Output), Can I adjust Service Tax (Input) @12% - 30000, and I will not take education Cess @2% - 5000, SEC@1%- 300. This EDU Cess & SEC I will take afterwards. Whether the Rules allows me to take only the Service Tax 12% portion only.The Edu Cess & SEC I will take take afterwards.
Mine is the manufacturing activity.
