In terms of Rule 7 of Point of Taxation Rules,2011, for service recivers, the date of payment is the point of taxation. Accordingly, the bill date or billing period does not matter and u need not pay service tax on 6.9.2012. You are liable to pay the tax by 6th of the month succeeding the month in which the payment is made by you to the service provider. However, if such payment is beyond six months from the bill date, this Rule does not exist and you have to go by rule 3 ibid.
