Hi,

We use to fill service tax return half yearly, but this time the message which we are getting is

No Returns are to be filed by the Assessee.,

It’s coming when we are trying to file it online, what does this mean?

Expert comments are appreciated

Regards

Renu

As the service tax rates have been changed so online ST-3 is under updatation process and you will have to wait for few weeks for updated ST-3 Form to file Service Tax Half-Yearly return.

You can’t file Service Tax return at this time. So this may be the reason that you are getting message that No Returns are to be filed by Assessee.

But updated Offline ST-3 is available.

You can file ST-3 for period April 2012 to June 2012 using aces ST-3 Return Excel Utility. Aces has issued new ST-3 form on 22.10.2012 for the period April 2012 to June 2012 and you can download it from aces site under download option. Right Now only offline facility is available for filling ST-3 for above mention period.

Thanks Sir,

My question was, as I have stated above, we are filling the return half yearly, not quarterly, do you really think we shall not be questioned by the department if we are filling quarterly return instead of half yearly.

We are not a large tax payer; it’s a very small proprietorship concern.

Please remark ……………..

Hiii Madam

As per Dept. instruction no. F. No. 137/22/2012-Service Tax dated 28.09.2012 you can file return only for the period 01.04.2012 to 30.06.2012. As you know w.e.f. 01.07.2012 negative list comes into force so dept. had not issued new form till date and issued above mentioned instruction that assess can file return only for the period 01.04.2012 to 30.06.2012 instead of 01.04.2012 to 30.09.2012 upto 25 Nov. 2012.
