From 1.7.11 , Service tax payment is on basis of bills raised i.e. on mercantile basis.
this means service tax on bills raised in a month will be paid till 5th of next month.
But in ST 3 Return, how to show service tax liability on mercantile basis, as Return calculates service tax payable on basis of amount received in a month , & not on basis of bills raised
