25 April 2010 Dear All,

Our company has received advance Rs. 1,00,000/- & servicce tax @ 12.36% Rs. 12,360/- from our client in 2009.

Now we have pvided the services of Rs. 5,00,000/- against the same advance in 2010 when service tax rate is 10.30%.

we are liabile to pay service tax on 5,00,000/- @ 10.30% i.e. 51,500/- & we have alredy paid service tax Rs. 12,360/- then our net liability of service tax is Rs. 39,140/-.

How do we incoprate the diference due to rate change in service tax return.

Thanks

Sanjeev Kumar

27 April 2010 Any service provided or to be provided is covered under the taxable service. Therefore when consideration is received in advance for provision of certain service, it is deemed taxable service that is provided, therefore the same is not eligible for refund and / or adjustment
