17 September 2014 Dear All,

This is regarding reversal of "service tax payable" already paid.

Kindly advise/provide solution on keeping service tax provisions in mind:

Question: Service tax in case of finance company: Company is loan NBFC, it has levied service tax on front end fees on accrual basis and accordingly provided service tax payable in its books in the month of march2014 and payment of service tax was also made.
Later on, it was discovered that Service tax on the above front end fee was not to be received, and hence front end fee accounted as income in the FY2013-14 has to be reversed due to non receipt of front end fees and accordingly service tax already paid has to be taken as input credit.

My Question is how finance company should avail service tax input credit on service tax paid in view of service tax provision.
please provide accounting entry for reversal of "front end fee income", "service tax paid". Please also provide relevant section, clause of Finance Act 1994.

Thank you in advance.
