05 January 2013 We have raised a Service Tax bill when the payment of service tax was on receipt basis and the rate is 10 %.

But We have received the payment in December 2012 which is after the change in Service Tax Law, where the service tax rate is 12%.

Please guide us whether we have to deposit the service tax @ 10 % or @ 12%.

06 January 2013 Dear Ravi,

The rate of tax applicable is 10% and not 12% as per Section 67A of the Finance Act inserted with effect from 28-05-2012.

Thanks
