We have just realised that due to some technical error the return for March 2016 filed by us is incorrect. Somehow, it has been filed as a nil return. All service tax dues have been paid in time. Can we file the revised return now? if so, what is the procedure? is there any penalty?

If not, then what is the solution? It is very clear that our intent was there since all taxes were paid, in fact, we have credit balance.

Please help.

I am a IATA travel agent. I issue tickets from my own IATA quota, collect service tax and remit to the reveune authority under AIR TRAVEL AGENT category. I also issue tickets from another IATA agent in which case I become a subagent since they pass more discount than I would normally get if issued the ticket directly from the airline from our quota. The main agent levies applicable service tax on the purchase bills to us and we sell them to our ciients. There is a demand by the service tax dept after the completion of service tax audit of our travel agent to pay service tax under the BAS business auxillary service for the last 4 years with interest on commission recieved from other travel agent on tickets purchased from them as a sub agent. They have mentioned that the service of booking is taxable and not the service of passage and hence the commission recieved by us as a sub agent is taxable as we are promoting thier business like a service of Business Auxillary service under section 65(105)(ZZB) of finance act 1994. Our clarification to them is that we are not promoting the business of the agent from where we are buying tickets, we are merely recieving a discount from them on tickets and not commission and there is not formal or informal agreement between us.  Kindly advise us correctly.

Sir, We are Pvt. Ltd. Company & service tax provider on Renting of Immovable Properties. We are raising our bills on monthly/Quarterly basis to our clients/ service receipents. But for the last 5 - 6 years they have not paid our service tax regulary, they have paid in instalments. Now they says that we should raise the bills in current date with current rate (form 10% & 12.36% & 14 % previous rates of service tax to current rate i.e. 15%) to claim our pending service tax from them. Is it possible? What will be effect on our liabilities. will there be any penalty from the department regarding issue of duplicate bills in current date with current rates?
