Yes you can revise your service tax return

 

As per provision (Rule 7B) has been incorporated in the rules to provide provisions of filing a revised return. Accordingly, in case there is a mistake or omission in the original return, a revised return can be filed with in a period of 90 days from the date of filing of original return,

As per the provisions of rule 7B a return can be revised only if the original return has been filed under rule 7. Means thereby, a revised return can not be revised again. Similarly, a belated return can not be revised under rule 7B.

Further, for the purpose of limitation of time period for raising demand and recovery of dues, the time limit will commence from the date on which revised return has been filed.
