Dear Mr. Sudhir,

PLS ADVISE ME ON THE FOLLOWING :-

A DESIGNING FIRM HAS STARTED ITS BUSINESS IN APRIL 2008 AND TILL NOV-08 COLLECTIONS WERE 2 LACS.

IN DEC-08 REGISTERED WITH SERVICE TAX DEPTT UPON INSISTENCE OF A CLIENT THAT HE WILL GIVE WORK ONLY ON REGSITRATION WITH SERVICE TAX.

THIS CLIENT PAID SERVICE TAX ONLY ON 1 LAC. 

 BUT WE DID NOT COLLECT SERVICE TAX FROM OTHER CLIENTS.

COLLECTIONS FROM DEC-08 TO MARCH -09 ARE ONLY 3 LACS.

 TOTAL COLLECTIONS IN FY 08-09 ARE 5 LACS.

NOW PLS ADVISE ON THE FOLLOWING POINTS:

1.  SERVICE TAX IS PAYABLE ON ONLY ONE LAC PAID BY ONE CLIENT ? OR

2. SERVICE TAX IS PAYABLE ON 3 LACS FROM DEC-08 TO MAR-09 (FROM REGISTRATION DATE TO MAR-09)? 

3. IN FY 09-10 WHAT WE SHOULD DO IF ONLY TWO OR THREE CLIENTS PAY SERVICE TAX OUT OF 10 CLIENTS ?

Dear Sirs,

I am a businessman and need some clarity on my situation. I am into IT Support (Annual Maintenence Contracts)

I have a Service Tax Registration but have not been charging  / paying Service Tax because I fall much below exemtion limits. My CA has been filing our returns every six months.

In 2008-2009 my Service Charges Invoicing  was 4.5 lacs.  Out of this Rs 85,000  was received in May 2009. No Service Tax was charged or paid.

In 2009-2010 my Service Charges Invoicing is Rs 10,10,000/=, and receipts are 8,90,000. No Service Tax has been charged or paid.

Out of this One invoice was for Rs 2,40,000/= dated Nov 2009.  This is for an AMC from 01/11/2009 to 31/10/2010

So more than half the services under this invoice will be rendered in 2010-2011 . We were paid half yearly by the client. We received Rs 1,20,000/= in Dec 2009, and a balance 1,20,000/=  is outstanding, and will be received in June 2010.

Now we have to file the 6 monthly return for the period 1/10/2009 to 31/3/2010

Are we liable to pay any taxes for this period ? Our Invoiced Amount was 10,10,000/= although the receipts were 8,90,000/= ? .  We also received a payment of 85,000/= outstanding for Invoices from the previous FY 2008-2009.

For the Year 2010-2011 we have started charging Service Tax from the first bill in April 2010.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Amit
