23 October 2013
The Excel Facility provided at the ACES sit for offline / online filing of ST-3 has some bugs which have not yet been resolved. The ST-3 form has been created with only the provisions of the Act in mind. The various differential rates for various services like Air travel agents, Forex dealers, Organizer / Distributor of Lotteries, etc. have not been addressed. Row B 1.15 is programmed to receive only one advalorem rate 12.36% (i.e 12+2+1). The Net Taxable Value in row B 1.14 should be such that computing the tax @ 12.36% the amount equals the Service Tax Payable.
For this an Excel Worksheet should be prepared monthwise with the following detail: Amount Transacted - Other Deductions - Net Taxable Value - Service Tax. Column (1) should be first filled up and then ST (column 4)at the rates applicable should be calculated. Dividing Column (4)by 12.36% fill up column (3) Net Taxable Value. The difference between Transaction Amount & Net Taxable Value is the deduction to be claimed.
The transaction value is filled up in B 1.1 and the amount of deduction is shown in B 1.12 (specify column should be Rule 7B) and then proceed to finalize and upload the return.
