if we deposit excess service tax during the year, then can we adjust the excess paid with next year service tax liability? or it is allowable to adjust only to quarter pertaining the same year? so is it better to adjust, if applicable or file for refund?

Self adjustment is possible only in cases like – (a) Excess payment since exact amount to be paid could not be calculated (b) when tax is to be paid by 31st March and calculation of exact amount is practically impossible (c) calculation mistakes. It is available upto Rs. 50000 and it should be applied for within 15 days of excess payment. Hence for the whole year adjustment is not possible. However, u can claim for the last quarter.
