Hi...

We have received a manpower bill for Rs. 1 Lac in September 2015.

I have following queries regarding this:-

1) if we pay above bill in the month of December than from which date our liability will start and if we don't pay than from which date interest on late deposit service tax start?

2) if we pay after six months than how we will record liability in our books?

As per POT, Rule 7, ST liability would ariase on making payment to party if u make the payment within three months from the invoise date.

If the payment is not made within 3 months to service provider, then your liability would arise immediately the next day. i.e 91st day.

If you pay after 6 month, you can record only payment entry. ST liability entry should have been made on reaching three months itself.
