22 March 2010 Please advise me weather Invoice Date is mandatory to mention on an invoice charging service tax. Also please advice in case of associate concerns where billing date is March'10 and service rendering period is April'10, weather Service Tax liability on the same invoice is to be paid off in the m/o March'10

22 March 2010 Both the question needs to be answered in affirmative.

Without the date, the invoice does not carry any value.

In the case of Associated Enterprises, not only the invoice, but mere book entry attracts tax liability. tax liability arises in March itself.
