There is one more problem. At times on the services which we provide .we don't receive the amount and then it is treated as bad debts,even tough we have not received the amount we have to pay Service tax and the customer to whom we have provided service can claim for input without clearing our bills.

Any person can book the credit of service tax as soon as he receives the invoice. But if he dont pays the creditor within 3 months then he will have to reverse such credit availed. So your customer will have to reverse the credit if he dont pays you within 3 months.( this procedure is applicable in case of normal charge only and not in case of reverse charge)
