Yes. Our accounts are based on accrual system. Although no actual liability arises but recognition of service income on accrual basis permits u to do so. Morever that liability cannot be added u/s 43B.

Yes sir, u have booked income from service provided on accrual basis, so u have to make a provision for service tax on the basis of maching concept & accual basis of a/cing.

As per AS-29 Provision should b recognised when:

a) an enterprise has a pesent obligation as a result of a past event,

b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying eco. benefits wil b required to setle d obligation, and

c) a relible estimate can b made of the amt of the obligation.
