New Service Tax Return- Few Suggestions

A few years back we heard that the combined excise and service tax return would be 1 page. This was not to be as reform implementation have failed in the last decade- nothing but empty words by successive FMs. Now we have a return where if a service provider is providing a dozen services and liable as a service receiver, the return could total 50 Pages!!!!

The questions which come to mind is whether the normal tax payer would be able to know the changing laws, be accounting savvy to be able to design his accounts / excel sheets in such a way that they provide the requisite information, has competent persons who understand the complicated return, be able to avoid mistakes which could lead to indefensible audit objections later. These returns should probably have to be prepared by a professional with clear responsibility of what the scope would cover or not cover. It is also going to be challenging as most tax payers books may not be ready for culling out the information required on arriving at the tax payable as well as the cenvat credit eligible.

Importance of Topic:

As per Rule 7 of Service Tax Returns, every assessee shall submit a half year return in Form ST-3 for the months covered in the half yearly return. Further, now Service Tax return requires to be made online in ACES website. The Central government has introduced Negative based Service Tax with effect from 1st July 2012. Further, with effect from July 2012, new mechanism i.e. Joint charge has been introduced under Service Tax.

Due to the above changes, it is difficult for the Assessee to file the ST-3 return in one return for the period April 2012 to September 2012. Further, even department is not in a position to analyze the return if it is filed in a single return. Due to this, the provision made for quarterly filing of returns for the period April 2012 to June 2012 and July 2012 to September 2012.

Subsequently, a modified version of E-format of ST-3 return has been introduced in the ACES website to file the return for April 2012 to June 2012. Further, for the period July 2012 to September 2012, the new format of ST-3 return is announced on 22nd February 2013 by way of Notification 01/2013 ST. The new format of ST-3 return which is complicated compared to earlier form of ST-3 return. Hence, the assesses require to be familiar with the new format of ST-3 return. The objective of the paper is to provide a better idea of:

a. The new format of Service Tax Return.

b. To ensure all the readers would file their ST-3 properly without any discrepancies.

c. To ensure proper disclosure of Joint charge Service Tax liability in the ST-3 returns.

d. To avoid to extent possible any objection / letters from the department for furnishing of details in the ST-3 return.

e. To avoid filing of Revised ST-3 .

Common Errors in the ST-3 Return:

a) Wrong disclosure of Premises code Number: One of the most common mistakes is wrong disclosure of premises code number in the return. Further the Premises code number has been changed for all the assessee of Bangalore jurisdiction as the Commissionerate re-classified the limit of Superintend from Taxable Service to Area wise. That means earlier, the assessee’s range was depending on the nature of Service. But from April 2012, the same has been changed to BBMP Area. Most of the assesses are not aware of the changes in their premises code. Further, the department has not made any intimation to the assessee for change in the premises code even though it is from their end. Many assesses are used the old Premises code in the ST-3 return, due to this their return is rejected. The assessees can view their new premises code from their ST-2 certificate which is available online.

b) Non-filing of return for few categories: As per the provisions of Service Tax, assessees are required to file the Service Tax return for all the categories of Service Tax. But some assessees who are providing multiple services would not file the ST-3 return for few of the Services due to reason that there were no transactions for the return period.

c) Return filing in wrong category: Some times, the assessees would file the return in by selecting wrong category of services. Example, return for works contract filed under construction of complex service category.

d)Saving instead of Submission Return: In ACES filing, first the assessee require to fill the necessary information in the ST-3 return. Later, the ACES ask for confirmation of Saving the data. Next step is to submit the ST-3 return. But few assessees due to ignorance, would mere save the data in the ACES and they leave ACES website on the assumption that they have filed the return. Actually, mere saving the data is not sufficient for filing the return. The return would be completed when the assessee submits the saved data.

e)Status of Return: After submission of return in Offline mode, the return filed by the assessee may be filed or it may be rejected. The assessee requires to check the status of ST-3 return after 8 to 10 hours of filing the return. If return is rejected, the assessee requires to re-submit the return after considering the errors made.

f) Non disclosure of exemption / abatements in the ST-3 Return: In the ST-3 return, the assessees require to disclose total value of service which also includes exemption / abated value of Services. Later, the exempted / abated value of Services requires to disclose and the same would be considered before computing the Service Tax. Some assessees would show only the net amount of Taxable Services in the ST-3 return which results in non disclosure of exemption / abated portion in the ST-3 return. Showing the exempted value of Services in the ST-3 returns would help the assessee to prove that they are not suppress the facts to the department.

g) Difference in Closing balance of CENVAT Credit of previous ST-3 return to ST-3 return for the current period.

h) Non disclosure of challan numbers in the ST-3 return. Due to this, there is a risk of return being rejected and the department may write a letter to the assessee for clarification.

i) Non disclosure of Exemption / Abatement Notification in the ST-3 returns. Due to this, there is a risk of return being rejectd.

j) Non disclosure of details of Export of Services resulting in denying of refund under Rule 5 of Cenvat Credit rules, 2004 at the first stage.
