I have a doubt regarding applicability of service tax? X ltd., has been providing a non taxable service from april 2010 (Service Agreement is for 10years). but from 1st july 2012,the service became a taxable service. from 1st july onwards xltd is Collection Service tax from its customers. current year 2013-2014 in the month of september Xltd revised charging rates of its customers retrospectively from april 2012 to August 2013, so raised a new bill past 17 months for Differential Amount. On this new bill(Differential amount), IS service tax applicable for whole 17 months(April 2012- august 2013) or only for 14 Months (july 2012- august 2013)?????

If service tax is applicable from 1.7.2012 then before this period you can not charge the service tax if services was exempt from service tax. now you can issue the supplementary invoice for the past period.
