I receive the following error even when there is no text or amount entered in the relevant column (any other deduction) while filing ST return. You have entered the text in the text field in B1.12 without entering any amount in the amounts field. Please enter the amount in B1.12. Request your help

Dear Sidhesh

B1.12 is a row for claiming other deduction if any.

This error occurs when you have entered some remarks in other deduction row (where there empty box to write remarks) but amount relation to the same has not been entered. That is reason for this error.

1. Enter amount in relation to such remarks you have entered

2. Remove such remarks and disclose correctly. (let me know if any help needed in this regard).

Hello Prakash,

The query is correct. I am also facing the same issue in respect of field B1.12. I have ensured that I have not entered any text (not even a Sapce) in the text field B1.12. The corresponding amounts are also Zero for both the Quarters. Despite of that the ACES website is poping a message stating "You have entered the text in the text field in B1.12 without entering any amount in the amounts field. Please enter the amount in B1.12".

Hi Prakash,

I am facing the same issue. Even though the field B1.12 is blank and the relevant amounts are zero, the error message comes up . The person for whom I am filing is an individual. Is there a way out? Can anybody help? I am attaching the screen shot.

Hello CA Prakash,

I have a query with regard to filing ST3 return. We are Service Provider - Manpower recruitment. Where do we have to mention the turnover of 100% reverse charge while filing Service tax return?

As the servicer receiver is paying Service taxes we have nothing to input with regard to challan or bank details.

The error shown while generating XML file says- Service tax payable (x Amt) does not match with the tax pd (rs0) for Qtr 1 and same for SBC and similar for Q2.

Kindly Advice.

Thanks And Best Regards

Anita

I have heard many technical errors while filling ONLINE ST-3 returns. Therefore, I suggest you to file Offline by uploading X M L utility.

(Download ST-3 utility- fill required infor - Generate XML file - Upload)

Dear Anitha,

As you are Manpower supply service providerd can claim exemption under 30/2012 ST notification.

Select Service Provider - Yes

Exemption - Yes

Select 30/2012 - Serial no. 8

Enter Gross Value for each month

Again in exemption coloumn - re entered value as exemption

Therefore, your taxable value will become 0 and tax payable also 0.

Above said error dailogue box will not arise.

Sir, please advise which exemption/abatement notification to be selected if "Air Travel Agent" is charging service tax under composite scheme @ 0.7/0.725% and 1.4/1.45%.

Dear CA Prakash,

Thanks for the prompt revert. I have done the entries as mentioned by you mentioning the value of Q3 & 4 in Gross Amt and again in exemption column B1.9. Net Taxable value B1.1w is 0.

Also I have not put any fig in B1.15 servicetax ratewise breakup and the particular sheet and the return has been validated without any error. I hope thats the correct way. Please advice.

Thanks And Best Regards
