ST3

dear,

first of all please clarify , when u are not a service provider why have u got registration with the de[partment? secondly, if u are paying S.T on receipt of service, then you can not file nil return. thirdly, if u have paid service tax then u can take credit immediately, but that can be used in payment of service tax.

 We were likely to fall within the ambit of ST and hencde we got registered.

We dont mind using the credit for service tax payment, but should i mention those input credit in ST3. as till date i have not provided any services ST3 is NIL....

dear,

please don't make haste. ST provisions provide for registration within 30 days of becoming eligible to pay servioce tax. i.e from the day your services are liable for ST. secondly, u can take service tax credit only on inputs which are used in relation to output service only. so, as per ur problem i understand when u have not provided any service why u aplied for registration? and why u have started filin nil ST-3. there was no need at all for this. u may file return onlly when u start providing services and also take credit only then. for more contact tkg1968@rediffamil.com
