We have not paid service tax on service receiver & also file st 3 till date.

15 December 2013 Dear friend,

Your query is not fully clear. Presuming that you are a service provider and liable to pay service tax. From Jul-12, either some of the services provided by you came under reverse charge (RC) or some of the services received by you came under RC. In the former case, some part of liability has to be discharged jointly by you and your receiver, if the services provided by you are covered under notification no.30/2012. In the later, you are liable for service tax to the extent payable by you if covered under notification no.30/2012.

You can amend your registration for incorporating required category of service.

I think you can pay the entire service tax and the past liability (other than the current period) can be shown in the ST-3 in the arrears column.
