19 January 2010 Dear Sir
I would like to clear a doubt. This is with regard to a payment made to a comapny in UAE as insurance commission for Referrals they made.

While making the payment we had paid the service tax from our pocket.But while making the service tax payment there was an error we had inadvertantly paid an excess amount.We claimed ST paid as input on basis of Challan.There is unutilised amount of input after adjusting the output tax.

I would Like to know whether this can be adjusted against ST to be paid on another foreign payment(ie to consider this as excess payment and remit the balance to ST on another foreign payment) or avail input or claim refund.

20 January 2010 If you are collecting service tax then you can claim service tax credit if u have invoice and invoice consist ST reg no.

Secondly one extra payment of ST can not adjusted against the second payment of ST it can be claimed as credit
