Notification 19/2008 vs. notifcation 18/2011 and 25/2011

This query is : Resolved 

29 October 2011 Can anyone explain which of the following notification is applicable.
a. Notification 19/2008 which states service tax liability arises when expense is booked (w.e.f 2008)
b. Notification 18/2011 superceeded by notification 25/2011 states that the liability arises only for expenses booked after 30th June 2011.

We have made a provision payable to our affiliated entity in the month of march 2011.
Will we have to pay service tax liability as per notification no. 19/2008 or at the time of payment as per notification no. 18,25 /2011.

pls advice.

29 October 2011 Since the liability was booked before the point of taxation rules came into effect, the service tax shall be paid at the time of actual payment.

29 October 2011 Thanks. But Notification no. 19/2008 states the same.

Service tax officials are invoking notification no. 19/2008 while we are trying to shield using Notification no. 18/2011 and 25/2011.

does notification 18/2011 supercedes the notification no. 19/2008.

pls advice.


29 October 2011 Notification 19/2008 is applicable to transactions entered into with an associated enterprise.

In such a case, the service tax liability arises at the time of booking the expenses.

Have you done a transaction with an associated enterprise? If yes, then N/N 19/2008 is applicable and service tax was to be paid at the time of booking the expense.

29 October 2011 The transaction is with associated enterprise.

But 18/2011 is also applicable for transaction with associated enterprises.

29 October 2011 Yes but it is applicable to transactions entered into after 30.06.2011. It is not applicable retrospectively.

When you entered into the transaction, N/N 18/2011 was not applicable. At that time N/N 18/2008 was applicable. Accordingly, service tax was to be paid at the time of booking the expense.
