11 March 2009 Hi all,

Kindly clarify on the below issue.

I own service apartments. I raise invoices on customers inclusive of service tax. I charge service tax on the whole amount of rent without deducting municipal taxes paid and collect the service tax.

While remitting the same to the government, I deduct the corporation tax from the rent and compute service tax and remit the same.

Can I Do so? What is the remedy for the same. should i refund back the excess amount collected to the customers

Pls reply to ma queries
