Service Tax allowabilty

This query is : Resolved 

16 June 2010 In this case please note that if any amount is collected from the parties and kept in the liability side of the balance sheet and was not paid upto the time of filing of Income Tax Return then can the AO add the service tax receipt as a revenue receipt.

16 June 2010 IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED SERVICE TAX FROM THE PARTY AND NOT DEPOSITED WITH IN THE DATE OF FILING OF IT RETURN AND A.O. WILL ADD THE SAME AMOUNT AS DISALLOWANCE OF UNPAID LIABILITY UNDER SECTION 43B

16 June 2010 UNDER WHICH SECTION?


16 June 2010 I HAVE MODIFIED MY ANSWAR. PLEASE CHECK IT.

16 June 2010 but i have never claimed the same as an expenditure in my books of account

16 June 2010 The same will be disallowable u/s 43B

16 June 2010 If the expense is never claimed in the accounts than how the same can be disallowed????

16 June 2010 I got a case law in your favour which could help u and correspondingly my answer will change

Where the assessee maintaining mercantile system of accounting collected service tax but did not deposit a portion thereof to Government account, but had neither debited the amount to the profit and loss account as an expenditure nor had claimed any deduction in respect of the amount, the question of disallowing any amount under section 43B would not arise - CIT v. Noble & Hewitt (I) (P.) Ltd. [2008] 166 Taxman 48 (Delhi).



16 June 2010 Can the AO add the service tax received from parties and deposited with the Service Tax Department as income??? If yes under which section????

16 June 2010 You have mentioned in ur query first that service tax is not paid and being added which is not possible as per above case law.

So if u have not paid service tax it cannot be added then how service tax that has been paid can be added?

16 June 2010 No Aditya I am trying to say that if i have collected say Rs. 100 bt way of service tax from the clients and has paid Rs. 20 to the government and rest i have kepy it with me and further also not deposited within the last date of filing of return then whether the Rs. 80 which i have collected and not paid can be added to my income

16 June 2010 read the case law. It will sovle ur purpose.
