My Company(Ltd) has paid Service Tax on Foreign Remittance for the year 2007-08 up to Rs. 35 Lakhs. As per the law, we are claming Set on the amount paid against service provider at home.
Again we had incurred foreign services in the current year and our Service Tax liability amount to Rs. 11.50 lakhs. My questions is can we adjust these amount against the excess tax paid earlier or we have to pay these tax and latter claim set off.

You cannot. Becauze the ST is being paid as a recipient of services which cannot be set off against the input credit and paid only by way of cash
