12 November 2011 In your case, event manager is required to pay service tax on accrual basis immaterial of the fact that by mistake you have deposited tax on receipt basis.

You are also required to pay interest if the date of receipt of payment is later than date of accrual of service. Rate of interest is 15% or 18 % as the case may be.
