service tax payable point, Service Tax

[ganeshan kalyani]

Dear Sir, As a service provider the bills are raised after the service is provided generally. For eg. if the service is provided in the month of June, 2014 the bill would be raised by service provider in June, 2014. Here the service tax liability for service provider occurs in the month of June 2014 or when the payment is received from service recipient. Kindly comment on this topic.

regards,

ganeshan

Dear Ganeshan,

If value of taxable services provided in previous year 2013-2014 is less than ₹ 50 Lakhs, Service tax for FY 2014-15 is payable on receipt basis, if you are individual,proprietary firm/partnership firm or LLP, then it is required to be paid on quarterly basis.

Invoice or payment, whichever is earlier, is the rule.
