Payment date of service tax for an individual is 6th of the following quarter. Payment date of service tax for a company is 6th of the following month.
The company takes the service of car hire from an individual. Under reverse charge mechanism, the company is liable to pay 40% of service tax for car hire. The company is liable to pay service tax for the very service only. What shall be the date of payment of service tax? Shall/Can it be paid in quarterly basis?

No, Company has to pay Service Tax on monthly basis as service tax payment date as per the act provisions is 6th of next Month for Companies and whether it is in Direct Charge or Reverse Charge, That would not affect the payment date provisions. Thanks
