Hi, Mam,

Within 90 days you may submit revised ST3 return in online which is allowed by aces.gov.in

Dear Swati,

The ACES system won't allow to file revised ST-3 return after 90 days of filing original return. If 90 days have not elapsed, (in a case when original return was not filed within due date) you may still file revised return.

You may mail me the facts of the case to enable me to comment whether panalty can be imposed or not.

Hello, Gud morng Sir

Actually sir i charged service tax in an invoice of dated 01.08.2013 bcoz i ws nt knwn abt the rule as our firm is nt covered under service tax payment liability (mainly exporting service provider) and i filed timely return of service tax on dated 25-10-2013 bt now i want to rectify my mistake bcoz the service receiver may take cenvat of that invoice nd i didnt deposited the amount.......as firm ws nt liable to charged service tax on invoice dated 01.08.2013.

so sir plz make me clear that as i fill NIL return nd i want to revise NIL return so so would i hv to pay any penalty on that

Thanks & Regards,

As you are exporting service the receiver of service is a person outside India. Export of service does not attract output service tax. If there is no service tax in invoice then the receiver cannot take cenvat credit.

If you wish to charge service tax in export invoice to help the receiver take credit, you have to deposit the tax now with interest. Or you mean to say you will show the export at a current date. ?

To me there is no logic in your receiver's claim. It has to pay you more if tax is charged.

Thanks,

Wow, all of us with the same kind of problem, how to revise/rectify return after due date?

Well, I have posted a query to experts and waiting for a reply. However, as per theory, we have to apply to jurisdictional superintendent for rectification to be allowed.

This problem can be answered by a person who has dealt with such practical situation earlier.
