There are two concepts one is time when service is rendered second is time when bill is raised. Issuing is bill is not relevant for discharging service tax liability but the time at which service has been rendered is relevant. You need to see your agreement and contract terms in this respect. If it deems that service would be treated as rendered at the end of each quarter, you need to charge service tax at the rate of 10.3%. It is treated as rendered on the first day of quarter you need to charge 12.36%. If it is a continuous period you need to charge servcie tax on proportionate basis. Nature of transaction and time at which service has been rendered is much relevant to decide this issue.
